What TrueAlpha is not?
We are not investment bankers. And we don’t raise the money for you. We empower worthy founders with the skills & the network.
We don’t provide quick shortcuts or easy fixes. Building a vision & raising is a disciplined process that requires founders’ full commitment.
We are not casual investors. We only make high conviction bets on founders we believe in & those we can help.
We are ‘unsugarcoated’ with our words and approach. We would tell you everything including things that you may not like, but are in your best interest.
