The hub steps on stage.
India's founder-first pitch show.
Real founders pitch on camera to a panel of operators, angels and funds who have built in India. What you see is the story and the straight questions. Any deal is completed off camera, privately and properly, through the startup's own legal channels. Watch anywhere, then build with us on the hub.
TheStartupsHub Show · Season One
Same hub. Same rules. Now with cameras rolling.
Every promise the hub makes to founders carries onto the stage, in writing and on the record.
A national stage
Your pitch reaches founders, talent, customers and backers across India, not just the room you stand in.
A panel that built things
Operators, angels and funds who ask real questions and decide for themselves, on their own money and terms.
The audience has a voice
People's Choice lets viewers back the founder they believe in with a vote. A vote, never a wallet.
A public record
Our deal tracker reports what happened after each on-air interest, updated monthly. No vanishing promises.
From application to on the record.
Apply
One form, no fee. Tell us what you are building, your traction and what you need next.
Screen and sharpen
Shortlisted teams get mentor prep: narrative, numbers, a dry run and a plain-words legal briefing before any camera.
Record the pitch
Pitch to the panel on set. Straight questions, honest feedback, and interest declared on the record.
Interest moves off camera
Diligence, paperwork and any investment happen privately after the shoot, between you and the investor, with your own advisers signing off.
Season one, episode by episode.
Episodes appear here the day they premiere. Nothing is listed before it is real.
Vote for the founder you believe in.
Each episode, viewers vote their favourite startup forward. Voting is appreciation and a signal of support. It is never an investment and never costs a rupee.
How voting worksWhat happened after the handshake.
On most pitch shows the story ends when the episode does. Ours continues in public: every on-air interest tracked from exploring to completed or closed out, updated monthly.
Open the trackerOn the record, in plain words.
The fine print, said plainly: panel investors act at their own discretion, on their own money and their own terms. Anything said on the show is a statement of interest and never an offer of securities, an invitation to invest, or investment advice. Any actual offer or investment is completed off the show, privately, between the startup and the investor through proper legal channels under Indian law, with the startup's own company secretary and legal advisers. TheStartupsHub produces the program and runs the community; it is not a stock broker, dealer, investment adviser or fund manager, it does not solicit investment from the public, and it does not handle investor money.
Before you ask.
Does it cost anything to apply or appear?
No. Applying, prep and pitching are free for founders, and TheStartupsHub takes no equity, royalty or fee for the stage. If that ever changes it will be said here first, in plain words.
Is funding guaranteed if I am selected?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises otherwise. Panel investors decide for themselves, after their own diligence, off camera. What the show guarantees is the stage, the prep, honest feedback and a public record of what happened next.
Can viewers invest through the show?
No. The show never offers investments to the public and never collects money from viewers. Viewers can vote in People's Choice, follow the deal tracker, and join the hub. Investing in any startup is a private matter between that startup and an investor, off the show.
Has the show always had this name?
Almost. The program briefly carried a den-style working title before launch, but den-style names already belong to other shows around the world, so it now carries the name that was always ours: TheStartupsHub Show. Same founder-first rules, bigger stage. If you joined the earlier waitlist, you are already on this one.
When and where can I watch?
Season one premieres on YouTube first, with television and other platforms planned after that. The channel link will appear on this page on premiere day, and not a moment before, so you will never find a dead link here.
