A lot of budding entrepreneurs are always on the lookout for the right mentorship which can help shape up their startup journey. Gurugram-based PedalStart builds on this idea by offering a community-driven platform where young entrepreneurs can learn from the best in the industry, polish their ideas and skills, and do lots more. There is also an accelerator as an additional layer to complement the community platform.

Since its inception in 2021, PedalStart’s community has grown to 10,000 startups, over 300 mentors, and 800 founders. We spoke to PedalStart’s co-founder Manas Pal to learn more about his startup accelerator and community platform. We also asked Pal about the expansion plans, working model, revenue, and lots more.

Pal told Entrackr that PedalStart aims to build a community of highly curated startup founders, which are handpicked and not more than 1,000 founders in a year.

“PedalStart runs an accelerator on top of our community, and picks some startups in the community based on a certain selection process,” said Pal.

Sector agnostic PedalStart invests across agritech, insuretech, cleantech healthcare & network and is looking to invest in sectors such as robotics, medical science, deep-tech and others.  It has backed startups like Newtral.io, BetterSpace, Bull Agritech, OhLocal, and Rupid, among others.
