NIMB Ace Capital, NIBL Equity Partners renew title sponsorship of TSN

KATHMANDU: The Startup Network Nepal (TSN) has announced that NIMB Ace Capital and NIBL Equity Partners will remain its title sponsors for a fourth consecutive year.

The renewed partnership coincides with an expansion of TSN’s portfolio, which now includes incubation and acceleration programmes, innovation challenges, hackathons, investor-connect sessions and knowledge‑sharing platforms, as well as the upcoming Startup Summit Nepal 2026, scheduled for December 16.

Under the agreement, NIMB Ace Capital and NIBL Equity Partners will support a series of TSN initiatives throughout the year to connect entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, policymakers and innovators across Nepal. The partnership aims to strengthen links between the country’s financial sector and its emerging startup community by creating pathways for capital, mentorship, market access and long‑term growth.

Sudeep Rauniar, founder of The Startup Network Nepal, said, “We are extremely grateful to NIMB Ace Capital and NIBL Equity Partners for continuing their association with TSN for the fourth consecutive year. Their continued support is a strong validation of the work we are doing to build a more connected and investment‑ready startup ecosystem in Nepal. This partnership goes beyond sponsorship — it represents a shared belief in the potential of Nepali entrepreneurs and the importance of creating meaningful bridges between startups, investors and established institutions.”

TSN said the collaboration over the past three years has helped raise visibility and create opportunities for early-stage ventures in Nepal.

TSN operates as a community‑driven platform focused on strengthening the local entrepreneurship ecosystem by linking startups with investors, corporate entities, policymakers and mentors. Through the Startup Summit Nepal, incubation programmes, hackathons and investor networking events, TSN provides a platform for innovation, collaboration and investment.
