What is DPIIT recognition and why does it matter?

DPIIT recognition under Startup India can make your startup eligible for tax exemptions, easier compliance, and government schemes. Your financial expert checks eligibility and manages the application.

How should I design my ESOP pool?

The size and vesting of your ESOP pool should balance talent incentives with founder dilution. A financial expert helps you structure grants, vesting schedules, and the required documentation.

Why do investors care about my cap table?

A clean, well-documented cap table shows exactly who owns what and reduces due-diligence friction. Messy equity or undocumented promises can delay or derail a round.

Can you help during fundraising due diligence?

Yes. ConnectKart financial experts prepare investor-ready financials, organise documentation, and support you through the due-diligence process.

Do you offer startup advisory in Chennai?

Yes. ConnectKart connects you with verified financial experts who provide startup advisory for clients in Chennai and across India. The entire process is online, so you get expert help without visiting an office.

How much does startup advisory in Chennai cost?

Pricing depends on the scope — a one-time structuring review differs from ongoing advisory or a full due-diligence package. ConnectKart shows transparent pricing upfront.
