UP&RUN押注一条坦诚的X帖子能筹集资金：单条推文融得90万卢比

做的是什么生意

UP&RUN is a Mumbai D2C brand selling zero-sugar electrolyte drink mixes for active adults and kids, marketed as India's first hydration brand for active families and sold through upandrun.in.

启动资金：Asked for ~₹80 lakh; raised ₹1.91 crore total (₹1 crore from angels, ~₹90 lakh via X).

起因

UP&RUN, founded by Chanakya Shah and Ritu Hathi, needed around ₹80 lakh to support growth. Rather than relying only on traditional investors, Shah posted the ask publicly on X in early March 2026 and waited to see what happened.

经过

The single post produced over ₹2 crore in confirmed cheques—far past the target. Shah said he never imagined the consumers the brand sold to would want to invest. The company then filtered offers: it only accepted investors who could add strategic value, closing at ₹1.91 crore, with about ₹1 crore from the existing angel network and roughly ₹90 lakh from people who found the brand through the X post.

结果

Still live: UP&RUN keeps selling electrolytes on upandrun.in, and Shah said he planned to share a fuller playbook on the X-fundraising process later.

可借鉴之处

在X上诚实、具体的融资请求可以将现有客户转化为投资者，但选择性很重要：本轮融资在筛选战略支持者后才结束，并非接受所有支票。
