GrowthStory is a leading venture builder platform founded in 2011 by serial entrepreneurs K. Ganesh (Krishnan Ganesh) and Meena Ganesh in Bangalore, India. The platform promotes and incubates greenfield ventures along with entrepreneurs, operating a unique parallel entrepreneurship model. Unlike traditional VCs or angel investors, GrowthStory identifies business opportunities, creates business plans, assembles core teams, provides initial capital, tests concepts with pilots, and then takes ventures to institutional VCs for funding. The founders give participating entrepreneurs 50% equity from day one, taking board seats and providing hands-on operational support. GrowthStory has promoted 13 companies under its platform and has a proven track record with successful exits totaling over $400 million from previous ventures. The platform works with passionate professionals and marquee VCs to create category leaders in consumer internet, B2B, and technology-enabled sectors, particularly focused on solving India-specific problems.
