“The Wishberry founders, Priyanka (Wharton grad & serial entrepreneur) and Anshulika (INK fellow & Forbes 30 under 30 winners) have truly understood the consumer needs for creative crowdfunding in India. Now they are looking to innovate crowdfunding for the long tail of artists in India by helping them monetize their content outside of Youtube through a recurring-funding model, inspired by Patreon. Recurring fan-funding in small denominations could be a game changer in the Indian crowdfunding landscape and make Wishberry a leader in producing independent-content.” said Sharad Sharma, co-founder and Governing Council member of iSPIRT and lead investor in the round.
