About this funding solution
Venture funding is fundamentally different from our lending products — it's equity capital in exchange for ownership, aimed at businesses whose growth trajectory justifies dilution rather than debt servicing.
Indian seed rounds typically raise ₹4–15 crore (most commonly ₹7–8 crore) at 15–25% dilution; Series A rounds run considerably larger — commonly $10–25 million — at a broadly similar 18–25% dilution band.
Our role here is advisory and introduction-based: preparing a business to be investor-ready, curating relevant investor introductions, and supporting negotiation through to a closed term sheet.
India seed/Series A benchmarks; actual raise size and dilution depend on traction, sector and investor demand.

For companies with real traction seeking growth capital, not idea-stage concepts.
- Scalable business model with demonstrable traction
- Raising capital for growth, not just working capital

FAQs
A loan is debt that must be repaid with interest; venture funding is equity capital exchanged for ownership stake, with no fixed repayment obligation.
Primarily seed through Series B — businesses with some traction and a credible growth story, rather than pure idea-stage concepts.
Fee structures are discussed upfront during the readiness assessment, before any investor outreach begins.
Both bands run broadly similar in India — roughly 15–25% at seed and 18–25% at Series A — though the absolute cheque size is materially larger at Series A.
