COMMUNITY // FOUNDERS CIRCLE
Where serious founders get real answers.
An invite-only WhatsApp circle for early-stage Indian founders. No fluff, no spam, no sales pitches. Run by Dharmik, AIGyde Solutions LLP · Ahmedabad.
The groups
One circle, four rooms.
🔥
Ask-Me-Anything
Ask anything — GTM, pricing, fundraising, hiring, grants, tech. No question is too basic. Main group rules apply here.
📋
Startup Resources & Templates
Templates, checklists, decks and tools that actually got used. Share with context. No promo or affiliate links.
🤝
Collabs & Co-founder Search
Looking for a co-founder, technical partner, design help or a pilot customer? Post here. One post per week per person.
💰
Funding & Grants Updates
Open grants, government schemes, incubator and accelerator applications, deadlines. Gujarat first, India-wide too.
House rules
This is a working room for early-stage founders. Read once, then get back to building.
- Real people only. Real name + what you're building. No anonymous profiles.
- No pitching members in DM. Do not cold-sell to anyone you meet here — no services, courses, investment offers, or "quick collabs." This is the rule that makes the room worth being in.
- No spam. No good-morning forwards, job posts, unrelated links, mass tagging, or crypto / trading / loan messages.
- Ask specific questions. "How do I grow my startup?" gets nothing. "Pre-revenue B2B SaaS, Ahmedabad, 40 cold emails, 0 replies — is my ICP wrong?" gets five answers.
- Answer when you can. If you take value, give value. Long-silent members get cleared out periodically to keep the signal high.
- What's said here stays here. No screenshots outside without permission. People share real numbers and real problems — protect that.
- Don't scrape the member list. Exporting contacts to build an outreach list = removed, permanently.
- English, Hindi or Gujarati — all fine. Clarity beats polish.
Transparency: I run AIGyde and I do sell paid work to founders. I will not pitch it in this group. If you want it, come find me.
Enforcement: one warning, then removed. Rules 2 and 7 = removed immediately, no warning. — Dharmik
