See how builders across India use Rahiway to turn ideas into funded startups.
Arjun, 3rd year CSE at MANIT Bhopal
Arjun had a validated idea for an AI-powered campus food delivery app but needed a business co-founder to handle marketing, vendor partnerships, and fundraising.
Using Rahiway's Smart Campus Filter, he found Priya — an MBA student at LNCT with prior internship experience at Swiggy. The AI matched them at 96% compatibility based on complementary skills and shared domain interest in food-tech.
Within 8 weeks, they built an MVP, onboarded 3 campus vendors, and pitched successfully at MANIT's internal incubation review.
Sneha, Non-Technical Founder from Indore
Sneha had deep domain expertise in sustainable fashion but zero coding ability. She needed a full-stack developer willing to build for equity rather than cash payment.
She toggled 'Find Tech Co-Founder' on Rahiway and matched with Rohit, a MERN stack developer from SIRT Bhopal actively looking for equity-based projects. They used the built-in NDA template before sharing the business model.
Rohit built the marketplace MVP in 6 weeks using the shared workspace. They secured ₹3L pre-seed from an angel investor found through Rahiway's Invest pillar.
Dev & Kavya, EdTech Startup Team
After building a working prototype of their AI tutoring platform, they needed to connect with investors who understood the Indian EdTech space — but had zero network.
They uploaded their pitch deck to Rahiway's encrypted Investor Room with view-tracking enabled. Within 2 weeks, 4 verified investors from Bhopal's angel network and 2 from the Startup India ecosystem accessed their deck.
They closed a ₹10L seed round and got accepted into the LNCT Incubation Centre's 6-month accelerator program.
