In simpler words, they are the new kingmakers for the startup industry and Y Combinator &#038; Techstars are a few good examples.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-2271165527\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> Accelerator&#8217;s main purpose is to make the startups investor ready and that\u2019s why even the Angel Networks\/VCs\/Family Funds look forward to partnering with accelerated startups.<\/p>\n<p> Accelerators have a global drive to trigger the growth and development of nations through innovations and creativity. Marwari Catalysts is therefore working with the same drive and with deep roots in India (Tier II &#038; Tier III cities) the team is passionate about investing in entrepreneurs who are poised to be tomorrow\u2019s global leaders.<\/p>\n<p> As of today\u2019s date, Marwari Catalysts has built a portfolio of over 40+ startup companies since 2019 and continues to seek companies that are capturing new markets, providing innovative solutions and creating new wealth for India and beyond. Therefore, after the fund raise, Marwari Catalysts plans to be a 100+ startup portfolio company.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe idea behind launching Marwari Catalysts was always to provide a strong accelerator network and build India&#8217;s most founder and investor friendly ecosystem as we believe that the main game relies on the founders and the founding team. So, today as we enter the next stage of our evolution, we feel that the financing milestone will be a testimony to our journey of innovation and disruption,\u201d says Sushil Sharma, Founder &#038; CEO, Marwari Catalysts.<\/p>\n<p> Sharing his rationale, Devesh Rakhecha, Founder &#038; COO, Marwari Catalysts says, \u201cWe always knew that there is huge money and amazing skilled founders in Tier II-III cities, but investors don\u2019t get access to the A-grade startups. We exposed them to this new asset class through masterclasses, physical events, and networking with experts. Our goal was to democratise access to startups to every investor. The successful closure of the previous round is a testament that our consistent hard work is bearing fruit.\u201d   Backing homegrown startups with full\/partial exits from 5+ startups, the primary concept of Marwari Catalysts is to invest in people and their ideas, whether with money, effort, or time. Honouring 2% of the total applications that they receive, the company is dedicated to transforming promising early-stage startup ideas into viable business concepts with a local, national, and global effect.<\/p>\n<p> With a passion towards professional community building, Richa Sharma, a woman Entrepreneur and Co-founder at Marwari Catalysts, says, \u201cMCats has always focused on having a dedicated platform to empower women who are trying to break the glass ceiling by being a part of this startup ecosystem. End result being, approx 35% of our portfolio startups today, are led by women Co-founders. Keeping the momentum going and promoting women leadership, MCats aims to provide a window of opportunity with this fund raise to activate more women startup founders and women investors and come up with changes for our industry for the better.\u201d   Being highly optimistic about MCats\u2019 action agenda for growth, Raunak Singhvi, Co-founder at Marwari Catalysts &#038; Head at Accelerator program, Thrive, says, \u201cBuilding on what we did over the past 2 years, we are committed to be a catalyst and a partner in unlocking the possibilities for a digital India and MCats sits at the right juncture to enable acceleration while fueling innovation and economy in India.\u201d   As of today\u2019s date, 25% of the startups under accelerator\u2019s portfolio have grown 10x wherein 70% of startups have raised their funding round addressing 15+ categories with each batch of 6-8 startups in each cohort, with only 10-15% failure ratio, making it way beyond the industry standard.<\/p>\n<p> End result being, the total combined value of Marwari Catalysts &#038; portfolio startups is USD 200M.<\/p>\n<p> Also with its accelerator cohort program, \u2018Thrive\u2019, MCats has got a well-seasoned and highly competent team with a full-fledged 100 Co-founders club from major cities like Jaipur, Surat, Nasik, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Ranchi, Indore, Mangalore &#038; Chennai.<\/p>\n<p> Summing up, Sushil Sharma, says, \u201cMarwari Catalysts purely as an accelerator is now open for its backward integration with domestic &#038; global incubators and forward alignment with Angel networks, HNIs, Family funds, VC and PE funds. Let\u2019s connect and explore because the only growth strategy that matters is collaboration.\u201d       PWR PWR<\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-291045368\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India (NewsVoir) \u2022 MCats is a family of 40+ portfolio startups. \u2022 Represents 100+ Co-founders club. \u2022 MCats is a family of 35% portfolio startups led by women Co-founders. \u2022 The accelerator holds a strong network across Tier II &#038;
