• ⚑ Private company — clean (Non-government private company per MCA; not a govt/DFI/university vehicle). Co-founder/CEO Neeraj Tyagi is deceased (passed away 16 Aug 2025; official site tribute). Name-collision caveat: two CINs exist for "We Founder Circle Private Limited" — the Mumbai entity U74999MH2020PTC346476 (active operating entity, directors Tyagi + Singhvi) is the correct one; a Gujarat CIN U74999GJ2020PTC158857 also appears on Tofler. Official site does not publish a postal HQ address; address sourced from MCA/ZaubaCorp. This is an angel/community syndicate, not a traditional pooled-capital VC fund — no formal AUM. Third-party scraper emails (e.g., RocketReach personal-email patterns) exist but were NOT used.
