What Lab to Lucre offers
Advisory services for early-stage startups: funding strategy, investor readiness, go-to-market planning and 1:1 advisory sessions, with written reports and plans. The scope, fee and timeline for any paid work are confirmed with you in writing (by email) before work starts.
No guarantee of funding or results
Lab to Lucre helps you prepare and choose a route. Investors, grant bodies and customers make their own decisions, so no particular result, funding amount or investor introduction is promised. The readiness check on the website is a self-assessment to start a conversation, not a rating or certification.
Advice is about strategy and preparation. It is not legal, tax, accounting or investment advice, and Lab to Lucre is not a registered investment adviser or broker. Take professional advice for those matters.
Bookings, rescheduling and refunds
- A 1:1 is booked once the date and fee are confirmed by email.
- You can reschedule a booked session once, by letting Megha know by email or phone before the session.
- Payments are not refunded, including for missed sessions or sessions you choose not to reschedule.
- If Megha has to cancel a session, it will be rescheduled at a time that suits you.
Confidentiality and your materials
Anything you share about your startup (decks, numbers, plans) is kept confidential and used only to advise you, unless you agree otherwise or the law requires it. Your materials stay yours. The reports and plans you receive are for your startup's own use; please do not resell or republish them as your own product.

Liability
To the extent the law allows, Lab to Lucre's total liability for any paid engagement is limited to the fee you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Please raise any concern with Megha first; most things can be sorted out quickly. If not, the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka have jurisdiction.
