Hello folks, ai have a corporate housing LLC that I've set up really carefully, and I know that with seed money I could scale it, but I don't know how I'm supposed to get myself in the door to VC access. Any advice?

Also gonna chime in here that you’re very unlikely to get VC $ money for a company like this. You need investors, not venture capital

I would agree with you from a natural standpoint; I don't come from money so I'm developing a larger network of investors over time and figuring out the typical practices as I go.

What do you mean by “corporate housing”? What is the business plan?

It's a firm that performs rental arbitrage by getting multiple leases under a corporate lease with rights to sublet occupancy, then we source LT (90 days+) occupants from travel-work agencies, filling in the gaps with airbnb and vrbo here and there for like 3 days at a time.

What’s the business plan?

I am working from EU since last year (internal transfer from India), also doing freelancing for an another startup since last 2 years and the payment is going to Indian account.
My employer assigned a tax consulting company in India to support me in filing tax, somehow the tax consulting firm found that bank account via AIS document (not sure how they get it in that doc), as they found some interest credited for that saving account. Will I be in trouble? will I have to pay penalty :(?
