In a pre-Series A funding round, leap.club, a professional network for women, has received $810,000 led by Kunal Shah, Enzia Ventures and its users. Titan Capital, Whiteboard Capital and Artha India Ventures are the existing ventures who participated in the funding.
“We have a bold mission and ambitious goals to build the best professional network globally with a strong focus on community and women. We want to hit 100,000 members in the next couple of years and launch globally. We already have members from 12 countries and will build complementary product verticals like I&d and jobs as we scale,” said the founders, Anand Sinha and Ragini Das.
Namita Dalmiya, Partner at Enzia Ventures said, “There is definitely a need for spaces supporting women’s networking in terms of style, needs and goals. Research says that not all networks are equal, and those with focus and quality fare better than those that are simply large. It is on these lines-focus and quality that the founders of leap.club are building a professional networking platform for women. In less than a year, they’ve shown a strong product-market fit and a sharp focus on delivering quality experience for its members. We are very excited to partner with them on their vision to empower women to network, learn, lead and thus fulfil their potential.”
Ragini Das and Anand Sinha founded the Gurugram based company in May 2020. The platform has made thousands of new connections for the members who can join book executive coaching sessions and join micro-communities.
The platform also organises skill sharpening workshops along with 3-4 moderated discussions. Past speakers include Kunal Bahl, Abanti Sankaranarayanan, Mukesh Bansal, Mohit Bhatnagar and Shaheen Mistri.
In July 2020, the company has raised $380,000 in a seed round.
