About

 

foundED is a dynamic initiative by DBS Bank India that champions modern-day founders and innovators, fostering a culture of entrepreneurship. Launched as part of DBS BusinessClass, foundED is a dedicated forum designed to ignite rich conversations with key stakeholders, exploring opportunities, product-market fit, MVP, valuations, and more.

In the last two seasons, foundED has journeyed across five startup hubs, sparking transformative discussions within the ecosystem. Curated for game-changer founders, investors, and tech ecosystem partners, this platform serves as a collaborative space, addressing industry pain points and propelling the development of innovative business models.

Aligned with DBS Bank's commitment to supporting SMEs, foundED complements the vision by bridging gaps in the technology and capital spectrum. By bringing together the right stakeholders, foundED catalyzes co-invention and innovation. Stay tuned for upcoming foundED editions in your city as Season 3 kicks off in Delhi in February!
