Value Prolific Consulting Services(ValPro) which is a financial services company announced its web-based deal enabling platform ‘Enablers’. It has partnered with NASSCOM and IIT Kanpur to promote and nurture startups.

Neha Khanna, Director of ValPro said,” Enablers is not just an online portal. We put in rigorous effort in mapping opportunities to align with investor interests. We believe and work at curating companies and ensuring that only those opportunities which have been gleaned using our investment banking experience and are genuine, get listed on our site. We follow a detailed selection and validation process – to study business models, review business plans and capture the competitive advantage and ensuring it is scalable and sustainable. We also vet whether the business is truly differentiated by either addressing an unaddressed market gap, successfully going to market through an improved solution for prevalent gaps or creating a niche market”

The platform ‘Enablers’ enables and assists entrepreneurs to connect and raise funds from investors. Earlier, Small and Medium businesses were not tech savy and thus didn’t need huge capital  as compared to SMEs today. The funding requirement now ranges from 50Lakhs to 5 Cr. or more.
