Huddle Hour enters Hyderabad to bridge gaps between startup founders and investors

Lead Invest, in collaboration with WE Hub and Startup Draper House, brings Huddle Hour to Hyderabad

Lead Invest (formerly Lead Angels), a renowned investment solutions provider and startup enabler, recently introduced ‘Huddle Hour’ – its flagship initiative to Hyderabad, in collaboration with WE Hub Hyderabad and Draper Startup House India.

Huddle Hour is a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to enable founders to share their challenges, perspectives and experiences, and growth avenues, and thereafter gather feedback/suggestions directly from experienced investors.

Lead Invest’s Huddle Hour had previously made its debut earlier this year in Bengaluru. Interestingly, unlike conventional high-pressure pitches, Huddle Hour aims to create a casual-yet-inspiring atmosphere where meaningful conversations and ideas can flow seamlessly.

With the objective to foster informal interactions between investors and newbie founders, Huddle Hour Hyderabad brought together a plethora of startup founders and investors from the city who networked and conversed openly amid a candid setting.

In the upcoming months of 2025, Huddle Hour will continue to expand across India, with Delhi and Mumbai as the next destinations on the roadmap. To ensure every edition of Huddle Hour becomes as impactful, Lead Invest will join hands with diverse collaborators in each city – from incubators and accelerators to startup enablers and others.

Beyond just networking and conversations, the Huddle Hour initiative will also attempt to amplify impact by bringing on board other ecosystem players – including legal firms, startup advisors, and debt funds – so that the promising and most active startups coming out of this initiative are able to get holistic support to grow and scale successfully.
