Micro venture capital (VC) firm Finvolve has announced the closure of its maiden fund at Rs 100 crore, backed by several family offices and investors. The VC firm stated that the fund will be used to support early to growth-stage start-ups and help them scale their businesses. In addition, Finvolve announced three more funds, one of which is focused on Gujarat's GIFT City, with a collective target of Rs 500 crore. The funds operate on the principles of accelerator, seed, and scale for pre-seed start-ups. “There is an unprecedented surge in the number of start-ups making an impact on the economy. We aim to capitalise on the financial market’s investment gap by sourcing and investing in opportunities that other funds are missing due to their size, networks, pipelines, and biases,” said Ashish Bhatia, co-founder of Finvolve. Founded by Vora and Bhatia, Finvolve was launched in 2022 as a collaborative effort between India Accelerator and Finolutions. While the former is a global start-up acceleration platform, the latter is a GIFT City-based B2B business consultancy firm. Since its inception in 2017, India Accelerator claims to have backed more than 140 start-ups. #startup #venturecapital #funding #news #trending #foxogyan
