About Us

More than 95% of startup ideas die in their first500days. One of the biggest reasons is not “Money” but the lack of expertise, resources, and knowledge required to build and grow a startup.

If entrepreneurs get the right expertise, resources, and knowledge, we can decrease the failure rate to 80%.

At First500days, we operate on the Venture Studio Model. Here, we help researchers and entrepreneurs build profitable businesses and commercialize innovation.

Few Words from Founder

Shivam - First500days
Shivam Pal
Founder @ First500days | Serial Entrepreneur | IIT Kanpur Alum

Hi 👋 I’m Shivam, Founder of First500days. As an alumnus of IIT Kanpur, I bring a wealth of expertise from founding and successfully navigating multiple startups, including Mvaak, UnchaAi, Narottam, etc.

My journey has been marked by creating and selling profitable businesses that establish a track record that speaks to my business acumen in the entrepreneurial realm.

I believe business is a real game of value, emotions, effort, risk, and money. And I love this game. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve immersed myself in diverse projects spanning hard tech, software, services, and cutting-edge AI initiatives.

Throughout this journey, I’ve worn many hats, steering the ship in roles encompassing Tech, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Leadership.

If you think I can help you in growing your business, then I love to connect with you 🙂

We had a very smooth experience with Shivam and First500Days. From the initial call to the final pitch, we had a great experience. It was swift as well, and Shivam was there every step of the way to help us. From setting up the initial WhatsApp group where we shared all our information with prospective investors to finally pitching to them, First500Days made the whole process quite easy.

I chanced upon the First 500 Days community on Linkedin. Shivam and team have built this incredible community to help startups in every aspect - from handling tech to fundraising & 24*7 community support. They help get investor connections at institutional VC firms. We got our first through the community. Excellent work, Shivam and team!

Being an early-stage startup founder is quite challenging to connect with founders from various backgrounds or even with the startup community, which is discussing the relevant problems among startups. This community is getting people connected in the startup ecosystem. Here people are full of energy to share their thoughts and questions. Best for EdTech startups.
Himanshu Thakur
Founder: Redopact
As a first-time founder, there is a lot of scope for doing things wrong. First500days is one of the best-curated communities for the founders to learn, collaborate and share. Personally, it's been really helpful for me in terms of learning and getting motivated each day. I'm getting better with each passing day at managing my business operations accordingly.
