Shirish shares his positive experience raising funds with G.I.L.C. club, emphasizing club’s partnership approach and deep involvement:

“I view G.I.L.G. and its team as a true partnership is along three dimensions. Firstly, they're a true thought partner, where the team has actually engaged with us in terms of thinking through what should be the right kind of outcome, then engaging in the process of experimentation and helping us to actually go through the decisions, so that we can embark on a path which will favor the right kind of outcomes for the company long term. I think the engagement has been truly more of a partnership and a thought leadership oriented experimentation as opposed to more reactive. I would strongly encourage founders to seek out two partners who can help them through this fundraising journey, which as we discussed, involves thinking, acting and deciding. I truly believe that GILC is one of these true partners.”
