In a world where entrepreneurship is celebrated, we often hear of successful startup stories that inspire us. However, we seldom hear about the struggles and challenges that startups face during their journey.
The CEO of Centrelocus (eSrot Consulting labs), Amit Gupta is on a mission to empower startups and transform the lives of young startups from developing & underdeveloped countries by launching PoolFunders.
“PoolFunders” is the world's unique DeFi Reward-Based Crowdfunding Platform created on Polygon blockchain technology. We call it CROWDFUNDING 2.0

He got motivated by his challenges to contribute to the emerging startups of the world. However, this didn’t come in a few nights of good work and took a lot of effort, following his struggle in the Startup world.

As a visionary leader, who drives the Organisation forward with a clear mission & a strategic plan, and as a startup founder himself, Amit Gupta understands the challenges that startups face when launching a new business. From finding the right team to securing funds and navigating the competitive market, starting a startup was a daunting task.
After completing his studies in the UK, the thought of building an environment where he can grow and achieve his goals all started in 2017.
During his startup journey, one of the biggest hurdles he faced in India while launching his startup was securing funding for growth. Nobody was ready to fund and banks were nightmares. One should understand that the journey of a Startup is one filled with numerous challenges, often requiring a great deal of fortitude & persistence. At its inception, the very idea of a startup can be intimidating, with many uncertainties & obstacles that need to be overcome. However, going through rough times he got an invaluable source of support from his family & friends, and the importance of Crowdfunding evolved.
According to the data published by Skynova in 2022, 47% of startups failed due to a lack of funding. Keeping in mind all these challenges and facing similar difficulties, he came up with a vision to support all the startups mainly focused on emerging economies like India, Southeast Asia, LATAM, and MENA region through PoolFunders.

Amit has been a serial founder and has 10 years of experience in the startup field. He believes that during such moments the founder’s faith in their vision must remain unwavering. Reminding the greatest achievement often come from the most difficult circumstances and that it is our willingness to face and overcome adversity that defines us as individuals and as a society. Via PoolFunders he is on a mission to bridge a huge gap in startup funding.
