A round is announced after the money is in the bank, and the plan it was raised on starts the same week: hiring, tools, marketing, an office. The first ninety days after an announcement are when a startup signs the most new vendors — and when a founder is most likely to answer someone who says something specific about what they just raised for.
Twelve to eighteen months later the same company is preparing its next round, which is a different sale: fundraising advisors, CFO services and the metrics tooling investors will ask about.
Guides for both: getting software clients from funded startups, finding companies that are hiring and how to find clients.
Every week. Mantis re-reads Indian funding news, extracts each round an article states — company, round, amount, date, investors — and adds or updates the company here. Rounds older than six months drop off. Last updated 24 Oct 2026.
From published funding news: each row links to the article it was taken from. We only copy what the article states; a field it does not state is left blank rather than guessed.
Because a startup that has just raised has a budget it is expected to spend — on hiring, tools, marketing and agencies — usually in the first three months. Recruiters, SaaS companies, agencies, CA firms and office-space providers sell into that window.
Mantis finds the company's website, its founders and their LinkedIn, and where the site names one, a direct email — then runs email or call outreach. Free to start with 500 credits.
