Founders present a structured pitch in a moderated room. Investors watch, ask moderated questions, react, save pitches, and request a private follow-up. PitchCircle is educational networking — not a promise of funding, and not a place to move money or equity.
Launch boundaryNo investment processing, advice, solicitation, escrow, or transaction completion happens here. Any asking value shown is owner-stated, not independently verified.
Our mission: PitchCircle is an educational networking prototype for exploring founder pitches, feedback, and potential introductions. Any signals here are illustrative, not promises of investor access or funding. No money or equity changes hands.
🔒
Demo-only visibility
The sample valuation mask is a display treatment, not account access control. Do not enter or upload confidential information.
🧾
Local demo activity
Activity history stays in this browser. It is not a server-side audit trail and is not shared with other participants.
⏳
Document controls are not available
Time-limited access is a design concept only. This prototype does not securely upload, scan, or serve private documents.
🤝
Simulated introductions
Requests are saved only in this browser. No investor is notified and contact details are not exchanged.
🌱
Sample businesses
Directory cards, metrics, and examples are synthetic demo content, not real businesses or investment opportunities.

Pick how much of the work you want off your plate
Any field is welcome — household, community, craft, service, hardware, software, or something we haven't seen yet. This intake is separate from pitch rooms and stays private by default.

Build it for us
Custom quote scoped after intake
Hand off execution to our team under a defined contract, milestones, and IP terms — for when you want it done, not taught.
Select a track above to continue — you can also just submit for free general feedback with no track selected.
Why we charge for this (and not for browsing pitch rooms)Rating, pairing, and building are real hours from real people, so those tracks carry a fee — clearly shown before you submit, and never silently added. Free browsing, registering, and pitching stay free because that's the core network effect we want to grow. In this prototype, all payment steps are simulated (no real charge) — the same honesty rule as membership elsewhere on the platform.

Review journey
Ideas stay private by default. Status changes are visible only to the submitter and authorised reviewers.
Before building togetherAny proposal must define ownership/IP, roles, funding/costs, milestones, revenue/equity terms, and exit. No equity is auto-assigned and no agreement is implied.
Founder onboarding
Start with clarity
A modest, clearly disclosed onboarding and review fee can help fund intake, moderation, and listing review.
₹2,000 provisional hypothesis, configurable
Currency, region, taxes, refunds, and waivers are configurable and not final. The fee is not approval, independent valuation, funding, or guaranteed investor interest. No payment is collected in this prototype.
Investor access
Join the room
Browsing and registering is free. Viewing an owner-stated valuation or placing an indicative bid requires a one-time membership.
₹1,000 one-time, simulated in this demo
This prototype does not move real money — "Pay & join" is a stand-in for a licensed payment gateway. Membership marks KYC as Submitted, not Verified. Any future real fee or verification step needs legal review, a licensed payment partner, and clear disclosure.
Important
What a fee would mean
A fee never means a business is good, investable, approved, independently valued, or guaranteed funding.
Networking onlyFunding, securities, advice, escrow, and transactions remain outside this MVP.
Demo persistenceWithout a connected backend, each browser keeps its own local data — a business you create as a founder is only visible in that same browser. The two "Sample data" businesses are pre-seeded identically everywhere so you can test the investor journey solo. Connect a backend (set AUTH_SECRET and DATABASE_URL) to make real founder and investor sessions interact across devices.
Membership & KYC are simulated in this prototypeFounders can generate a shareable link to a business. Opening it requires signing in, and viewing the owner-stated valuation or placing an indicative bid requires a one-time ₹1,000 membership. In this demo, "Pay & join" does not move any real money — it is a stand-in for a licensed payment gateway. Membership marks KYC as Submitted, never as verified: no identity check has actually taken place, and a real deployment would need a licensed KYC/payment provider before this can be trusted for real use. Because there is no connected backend yet, a shared link only resolves for someone using the same browser/device the business was created on (except the two pre-seeded sample businesses, which every browser has).
Trust is a product surface
PitchCircle helps people decide whether to start a conversation. It does not certify a business or replace diligence.
Identity by default Founders appear under a business/team alias; direct contact stays hidden until an introduction is accepted with consent.
Document room Request one selected document, optionally acknowledge NDA/terms, and wait for founder approval.
Per-document controls Approve, reject, revoke, and time-boxed expiry (24 hours in this prototype).
Audit trail Requests, approvals, joins, questions, and revocations are logged with actor, action, and timestamp.
Before any live transactionUse jurisdiction-specific legal review, licensed financial/payment partners, and applicable KYC/AML and securities or crowdfunding compliance.
Why membership exists — and what it doesn't coverOwner-stated valuations and bid activity are only visible to members, and every view is logged — that's why we ask for a one-time fee: it keeps the room to people with real intent, not anyone browsing. But membership is not a vault. Don't post financial statements, source code, cap tables, or anything you'd only share under an NDA. Keep the sensitive material off-platform, and hand it over directly to an investor only after you've both chosen to connect — that handoff should happen on your own accord, outside PitchCircle, once you're comfortable.
Asking valuation is owner-stated, not independently valued, verified, investable, or guaranteed. Profiles and pitches are owner-submitted and moderation/verification states are shown precisely. Businesses labelled "Sample data" are demo content, not real listings.
