In this episode of Vibe with OCTA, Jon Edward is joined by co-founder Nupur Mittal for an unfiltered deep dive into OCTA’s fundraising journey.
They break down exactly how OCTA raised $3.2M at the idea and pre-seed stage in the Middle East. From building trust through bi-weekly investor updates, to crafting a team-first pitch, to navigating rejection, hospital pitches, and the emotional grind of fundraising.
This is not theory. It is the real playbook.What worked. What failed. What no one tells you about raising in the region.
You will learn:
Why progress updates became OCTA’s most powerful fundraising tool
How to pitch when you have no revenue, only conviction
Why relationships matter more than decks in MENA
How to stay resilient when the answer is “no” most of the time
For founders raising now or planning to, this episode is your field guide.
