WBR’s network of 60,000 HNIs provides startups with access to capital, strategic connections and growth opportunities, says Chairman SK Sahu
UNITED STATES — August 2026: WBR USA has announced that it has helped facilitate approximately $100 million in startup funding for emerging and growth-stage companies across the United States, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s efforts to support entrepreneurship, innovation and business growth.
According to WBR, the startups supported through these funding initiatives are U.S.-based companies, operating across a range of emerging and high-growth sectors. The organization works to connect promising businesses with investors, business leaders, strategic partners and high-net-worth individuals who can potentially contribute not only capital but also industry knowledge, market access and valuable business relationships.
SK Sahu, Chairman of WBR Corp, said the strength of the organization lies in the business ecosystem it has developed over the years.
«“WBR has built its own ecosystem of more than 60,000 HNIs, entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders. Our objective is not simply to introduce startups to funding opportunities. We want to create an ecosystem where promising companies can access the right people, strategic relationships, visibility and opportunities they need to grow.”»
According to Sahu, access to capital is only one part of building a successful company. Startups also require mentorship, credibility, customer access, strategic partnerships and strong networks to successfully move from an early-stage venture to a scalable business.
WBR USA says its approach is therefore focused on creating meaningful connections between entrepreneurs and members of its wider business network. Through investor introductions, business networking, strategic advisory, branding opportunities and international connections, the organization aims to help founders strengthen their businesses and prepare for long-term expansion.
The $100 million funding milestone reflects the combined value of startup funding that WBR USA says it has helped facilitate through its network and ecosystem. Rather than operating solely as a traditional funding platform, WBR positions itself as a business-growth ecosystem connecting companies with people and resources that may help accelerate their development.
Sahu believes that the United States remains one of the world’s most important environments for entrepreneurship because of its combination of innovation, capital, talent and willingness to support ambitious ideas.
«“There are extraordinary entrepreneurs building companies across America. Our role is to identify promising businesses and connect them with an ecosystem that can help them move to the next level. We believe the right introduction at the right stage can completely change the growth trajectory of a startup,” Sahu added.»
Following this milestone, WBR USA plans to further expand its engagement with U.S. startups, founders, investors and HNIs, while strengthening its network across major American business and innovation hubs.
The organization says its long-term vision is to create a powerful platform where capital, entrepreneurship, influence and strategic relationships come together, enabling promising U.S. companies to access opportunities that can support faster and more sustainable growth.
