- Failed Fundraising
- According to Techcircle, the startup failed to raise follow-on funding.
- Reported by Ramesh Kumar, one of the angel investor found out that VCs showed lack of interest in WhatsOnRent, then afterwards the startup funding began to slow down.
- In an interview with WhatsOnRent co-founder, Bharat Goyal explained that they took the initiative to shut down WhatsOnRent as they could not see the next round of funding coming through.
- Bharat Goyal shared the issue with the rental buisness and how changing the consumer mindset about renting makes more sense, but it was not possible to change the consumer mindset without pre-series A funding.
