Next Big Thing (NBT) is a private community for founders.

Our goal is to help you raise funds for your startup.

We do this through our weekly pitch sessions (think of them as ‘online shark tank’). 

Every week, we invite one external investor. Four founders pitch live, and the rest of the community watches to learn how investors think, what they ask, and what a good pitch looks like.

We also run expert-led learning sessions, hosted by founders within the community - covering topics across GTM, marketing, sales, fundraising, product, tech, etc. Very practical learning, straight from people building companies.

We also have a super helpful WhatsApp community of high-quality founders building companies across different industries.

You can ask for connects, intros, or advice anytime. The community responds instantly - whether it’s opening the right doors, sharing resources, or guiding you through a tough decision.

What founders say about us:

"2 months in the community and have already done 1 strategic partnership, onboarded a Tech partner, revamped the pitch deck after seeking feedback, multiple round table sessions, and whatnot!"
- Karan Gupta, Founder (Housp)

"Have joined many communities, but nothing can beat NBT! 
Sometimes I wonder if Harsh has cloned himself - that he somehow closes every thread."
- Dr. Arjun, Founder (GoMini)

"I got more traction from NBT than any other community. When I joined NBT, I thought it’d be just another WhatsApp group. I was wrong. NBT has given me more opportunities, support, and ideas than most 'networking events' ever did."
- Aryan, Founder (SyntaxErreur)

"Being part of Next Big Thing has been an eye-opener for me in multiple ways:
- I have been able to connect with folks who share my mindset.
- The sessions have helped me actualise certain theories
- The support network has ensured that you end up with an answer for virtually anything."
- Joel, Founder (Vettam)

"I came in with zero business understanding.
But in this short time:
- I built my first-ever pitch deck
- I pitched to a top VC personally
- And made my first senior hire
Grateful beyond words to NBT and Harsh⁩."
- Akshay, Founder (Daily Mandir)

"It's my go-to place for any and every problem, situation, insight, and feedback. If you're a founder looking for a mentor, it's the best place, because you get an environment where your eyes will be opened not just by Harsh, but by every other founder too."
- Abhijeet, Founder (AJ's Chalo Seekhein)

"NBT has been an inflection point for me. With no background or network, the NBT community has become my go-to place for help and advice. Whenever I hit a problem, I drop it in the group and boom, some of the smartest people I know jump in to help me solve it! You gotta join us :)"
- Storm, Founder (JustGigs)

"I have been a part of the community for 2 months, and it's my go-to place to put up any doubt that I have, or if I am stuck somewhere. Everything aside, most communities aren't moderated, but this one is moderated just right, and I have realized that this has helped the most, as it brings structure to the chaotic questions."
- Divya, Founder (Chompz)

"NBT has fast-tracked my growth - both personal and as a founder. I am grateful to Harsh for always being available and sharing so openly. I’ve learned in weeks what would’ve taken me much longer on my own.
- Abransh, Founder (JobSwipe)

"Here, you find entrepreneurs from every industry - B2B, SaaS, consumer tech, services, etc. I’ve learned more in the last few weeks than I did in months of trying to 'figure it out' alone."
- Madhav, Founder (BullRun Solutions)
