Capital Connect by BizDateUp to Link Startups with Investors in Bangalore

BizDateUp will host ‘Capital Connect,’ an event aimed at facilitating engagement between early-stage startups and investors, on June 21, 2025, at the Indian Craft Brewery in Bangalore. The event will be chaired by Tejasvi Surya, Hon. Member of Parliament (South Bangalore) and National President of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, who will attend as Guest of Honour.

Capital Connect is designed as a platform for entrepreneurs to interact directly with investors, policy experts, and industry leaders. The agenda includes keynote addresses, panel discussions, live startup pitches, and networking sessions, with the goal of fostering substantive conversations and potential collaborations within Bangalore’s startup ecosystem. The event is expected to attract over 250 high-intent attendees, including industry leaders, ecosystem enablers, angel investors, VCs, strategic partners, and early-stage founders.

This setting is especially significant as Karnataka is recognized as India’s top state for startups in 2025, with Bengaluru leading as the country’s foremost startup city. Startups in the state generate the highest revenue nationally and benefit from a skilled talent pool, strong female workforce participation, and a focus on grassroots innovation, reinforcing Karnataka’s status as a national and global technology hub.

“Bangalore has always been India’s startup capital, but our vision should be to transform it into a global startup powerhouse. Through initiatives like Capital Connect by BizDateUp, I am supporting their commitment to guiding high-potential startups on policy and market strategies and recommending the most promising ones to government bodies. With Prime Minister Modi's vision of a Viksit Bharat and the goal of making India the world’s third-largest economy, entrepreneurship plays a crucial role. I am confident that this program will contribute significantly to achieving that goal. Jeet Chandan’s vision of creating one million entrepreneurs and making Bangalore a beacon of innovation and entrepreneurship contributes to the broader vision of Viksit Bharat," said Tejasvi Surya, Hon. Member of Parliament, South Bangalore, and National President, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha.

Jeet Chandan, Managing Director of BizDateUp, added, “At BizDateUp, we believe that every great idea deserves the right platform to flourish. Capital Connect is our commitment to bridging the gap between innovation and opportunity, empowering startups to accelerate their growth. With the incredible support of youth icon Tejasvi Suryaji, we are even more confident that this event will become a launchpad for aspiring entrepreneurs across India.”

Attending Capital Connect offers participants a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Bangalore’s dynamic startup ecosystem. The event features engaging panel discussions where thought leaders from the city will share their perspectives on the evolving landscape of startups and investments, helping to shape the future of innovation. Entrepreneurs will have the chance to present their ideas during live startup pitches, providing a platform to secure funding and explore potential collaborations. Dedicated networking and investor zones are designed to foster meaningful conversations and facilitate connections with capital-ready partners. Attendees can also experience startup showcases and matchmaking sessions, allowing them to discover new innovations firsthand and connect with the right collaborators. To conclude the event, a lively Coffee Rave Party will offer a relaxed environment for further conversations and networking, ensuring that participants leave with valuable contacts and fresh inspiration.
