Aakash Anand, who’s started successful companies like BellaVita, has launched a new venture studio called Wolfpack Labs. He’s putting 50 crore rupees of his money into it to help new businesses get off the ground. Wolfpack Labs will focus on really early startups, with small investments of 25 lakhs to 1 crore rupees each. Aakash wants to help these startups grow fast by supporting and advising them.
Wolfpack Labs will help very new businesses, especially those just starting out with their ideas. They’ll choose about 4-5 businesses to help at a time. They’ll help chosen startups figure out how to get their ideas out into the world.
Aakash Anand’s Mission with Wolfpack Labs
Aakash Anand, who started Wolfpack Labs and BellaVita, wants to help young people with big ideas. He knows that starting a business can be tough, especially at the beginning. That’s why he created Wolfpack Labs—to be like a supportive family for new entrepreneurs.
He picked the name “Wolfpack” because wolves work together as a team, just like he wants his group to do. Aakash believes in qualities like patience, curiosity, teamwork, planning, and never giving up, which he thinks are important for success. Aakash says,
“I remember how hard it was when I started out. I want to make it easier for others like me. Our goal is to help new businesses get ready to launch their products and ideas around the world. We want to be the best place for startups to get started and grow.”
Venture Studio Wolfpack Labs’ Approach to Supporting Startups
Wolfpack Labs does things differently. They believe in sharing success among founders. So, if you’re part of a group of startups, you all get a piece of the pie in each other’s businesses. It’s like having a team where everyone wins together, similar to how employee stock options work.
Right now, Wolfpack Labs has five companies in its first group. It’s looking for more startups to join it. Wolfpack Labs will soon announce its first investment. And it’s not picky about your business—it’ll help anyone with a good idea.
Besides giving money, they’ll also give you advice on how to sell your product, connect you with important people, and give you access to new opportunities. It’s like having a friend who’s really good at business helping you out.
