ABOUT US

Jammu and Kashmir Angel Network (JKAN) is a new Angel Network, an initiative by Tushar Gandotra. JKAN’s mission is to accelerate early and seed stage start-ups through fundraising support and customer discovery. Its members are expert technology professionals with roots from Jammu and Kashmir running large enterprises across the world.

The networks goal is to invest in early and seed stage companies. Members may agree or may not agree to invest as a group. While there could be collaboration on screening & evaluation, members exercise autonomy in making funding decisions. JKAN is a platform that provides start-ups an opportunity to form relationships with JKAN members which could result in potential business opportunities besides investments.

JKAN members possess a broad array of business domain experiences and technology skills they bring to bear in helping to screen and evaluate potential portfolio companies.

JKAN members also serve as a valuable resource for guidance and advice to entrepreneurs and their businesses once an investment is made. It is not an investment fund, but rather, a network of investors who make individual seed investment decisions after working together to evaluate candidate companies.
