Tavastra: Building More Than Just Startups
The startup world is changing. Traditional funding and networks still matter, but today’s founders need more — immersive support, real collaboration, and access that goes beyond credentials. Many brilliant founders don’t fit the conventional mold. And many experienced professionals want to offer more than just capital — they want to build alongside those founders.
This is a personal conviction for Tavastra’s founder, Ritesh Srivastava. Coming from a small town and an average college, he built a global career across 22+ countries, including leadership positions at Fortune 30 companies, unicorns, and global conglomerates. As an angel investor, he backed founders not just with money, but deep, hands-on involvement.
That vision became Tavastra — A fully immersive residential co-creation startup village experience. Here, founders live, learn, and build together. It's not just a cohort; it’s a committed community that brainstorms together, supports deeply, and celebrates every win.
We’re redefining angel investing — enabling domain experts to invest small but contribute meaningfully, with real equity and real involvement.
