For sponsors · The celebration of founders in your city · Jan – Feb 2027

Put your brand on the day the city remembers all year.

North India's first founder festival. Not a conference — a celebration. 2,000 young people, the city's builders, a coin game the whole crowd plays, an awards night and a big act to close. Your brand does not hang on a banner here. It sits inside the moments people film and share.

Why this beats a logo on a banner

Moments, not mentions.

The event is one day. The content runs two months — 25 professional clips and 30–40 local creators posting. Speeches are banned here; branded moments and MC integrations replace them, by design. That is why the crowd stays till the end.

Name the coin itself

Every visitor carries 1,000 play coins and spends them all day backing founders. The coin can carry your name — "[YourBrand] Coins" — on every wallet, chip, jar, the leaderboard and both bell moments.

One brand per category

One bank. One telecom. One D2C brand. Your competitor sits in the audience with a ticket.

Safe for your brand

No politicians on stage. No controversy. No shouting-match formats. A clean, young, family-safe celebration of builders.

Stories your brand gets told in

Founder Adda puts founders who fell and stood back up on the main stage, and the Comeback Award honours one of them. The Wingman Crew walks shy founders to every door. Sponsor these and your brand is part of the story.

Honest numbers

Everything we promise is written on a checklist. Report in 7 days. Anything missed — we make it good in extra content. You get the real numbers, and usage rights to every clip with your brand in it.

Equity credits

Every sponsor gets credits worth 50% of what they pay — value in the draft-class founders we hold stakes in. They vest the day your payment completes, never expire, and pay out when stakes are sold. Half your sponsorship becomes upside in the city's best builders.

All payments to the head office against invoice; prices exclude GST. Category exclusivity honoured per tier as signed. No sponsor speech slots exist at this event. No political association. Audience and reach figures are targets; actuals are reported in the post-event scorecard. Equity credits equal 50% of the package price, vest only on receipt of full payment, and are a contractual right to a share of realised proceeds on stakes held by the head-office entity — not shares, not a securities offering, non-transferable. This page is an invitation to discuss, not an offer; terms bind only through the signed sponsorship agreement.

Sponsorship buys the audience. Scouting buys outcomes. Buy both.

This menu is for your marketing team. If your HR or business teams want hires, vendors, dealers or pilot partners from the same floor — that is the Corporate Scout product. Separate document, separate invoice.
