Chaitanya, Director of Draper Startup House Hyderabad, said, “India has no shortage of exceptional founders. What they need is structured early-stage support, global visibility, and access to investors. The Draper Founders Program addresses this gap — equity-free, community-driven, and high-impact.”

This program is part of the global Draper Startup House network founded by Tim Draper, a legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist.
