Xoogler.co – a unique community that has been solely formed to help ex-Google entrepreneurs to fulfill their startup ambitions – is all set to launch the first Demo Day of 2020 in Bengaluru on February 2nd. This event will be like any other startup pitch event wherein startups run by ex-Google entrepreneurs can pitch their startups or startup ideas to investors for prospective fundraising.

Xoogler.co’s investment syndicate has $1.8M+ in backing from 500+ investors to invest in each ex-Google led startup. The community’s cash coffers have further swelled, after recently raising six figure investment from Wilbur Labs.
Total 9 companies had participated in the previous Demo Day event held in November 2018, out of which 5 companies managed to raise funds. These 5 startups are as follows:
Procol – raised a funding round from Blume
Strings – Got funded by Y Combinator
Vahan.ai – raised funds from Khosla Ventures
Timepay – went to Axilor, 2400 Cr – GMV
Invitly – raised a seed round
Bengaluru’s Demo Day event is likely to receive positive response, since there is no dearth of Indian startups whose co-founders have been ex- employees of Google. This includes well-funded Indian startups like Livspace, Moglix, HealthifyMe, Dunzo and Zendrive.
Today many successful companies across the world are led by ex-Google entrepreneurs. Be it Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi or American social media giants like Instagram and Pinterest. The success of these companies justifies the existence of unique community like Xoogler.co
