Most first-time founders walk into a pitch believing they’re selling a story. In reality, fundraising is a test of clarity, conviction, and whether a business truly deserves venture capital.


In the first episode of Lumikai Pixels Blueprint, Salone Sehgal, Founder & Managing Partner at Lumikai, breaks down what investors are actually evaluating at the earliest stages of company building.


In this episode, we cover:


  • What first-time founders consistently get wrong (and right) about fundraising

  • Why understanding venture capital economics matters more than pitch polish

  • Why retention and monetisation matter far more than vanity metrics

  • How distribution is engineered — not discovered

  • The signals that make investors lean in (and the ones that end a pitch early)


Pixels Blueprint is built for founders who want first-principles thinking, not buzzwords - and practical insight into what it really takes to build venture-scale companies.

This episode really hit home for me as a small creator and gamer founder. The focus on retention and real traction matters a lot. Even building a simple game like basketball legends taught me that users stay for experience, not hype. Clear thinking and honest metrics can truly shape stronger startups.

Fascinating breakdown of what early-stage investors really look for—clarity and conviction beat flashy pitches every time, and it’s great to see initiatives like Lumikai Pixels backing bold interactive media ideas that could even integrate innovative tech from 3d-figurines down the line.

At the heart of Ragdoll Hit is its physics system. Characters respond dynamically to force, making combat feel organic and unpredictable.
