The Voice AI Series #2: Bolna's Playbook to a $6.3M Seed

About the Event 🎤

You're building a real product, engaging with real customers, yet every investor conversation feels like a guessing game. Do they understand the vertical, or are they just pattern-matching to the last AI deal they encountered?

Raising a seed round in voice AI today requires convincing investors that your approach is defensible, not just another wrapper on a foundation model.

Join us for a closed-door roundtable with Maitreya Wagh, Founder & CEO of Bolna, who successfully raised a $6.3M seed led by General Catalyst, alongside YC, Blume Ventures, and notable angel investors, while being the only India-focused startup in his YC batch.

We'll discuss:

• How to position an India-first company to global investors without diluting the narrative.
• What instilled confidence in investors to lead a seed round of this magnitude at such an early stage.
• Transforming technical differentiation (beyond just traction) into a compelling fundraising narrative.

Format 📝

• Duration: 2-hour roundtable
• Participants: 10-12 founders
• Rules: Chatham House rules — what’s shared in the room, stays in the room.

Who This Is For 👥

• AI-native founders
• $0-500K ARR
• Voice AI builders actively fundraising or planning to raise soon

Come prepared with a specific question or a real fundraising challenge you're navigating.
