Overview

A digital platform built by DPIIT with SIDBI that uses algorithm-based matchmaking across 100+ parameters to connect DPIIT-recognised startups with investors, including SEBI-registered AIFs, angel networks, VC and PE firms, family offices, corporate VC arms, and accredited HNIs. It is especially aimed at early-stage founders and founders in emerging or tier-2+ cities. Registration does not guarantee funding; deals are negotiated off-platform.

Eligibility

  • Startups: valid DPIIT recognition, under 10 years since incorporation, structured as a Private Limited company, registered partnership, or LLP
  • Investors: SEBI-registered AIF, angel network, VC or PE firm, family office, corporate VC arm, or accredited HNI

Funding Purpose

Matchmaking platform; not a source of direct funding itself.

Application Process

Startups and investors each create a profile on the portal; startups search and apply to matching investor requirements, and investors review validated profiles and initiate contact.

Before You Apply

  • ZeedFund is an independent tracker, not the offering organisation or a funding body.
  • Verify current eligibility, funding amount, and deadline on the official page before applying. Details can change after we last verified them.
  • Once you apply, all follow-up (screening updates, interview or pitch invites, and the final decision) comes directly from the facilitator, incubator, or investor, never from ZeedFund. Check their application portal or email yourself for status updates; we won't have visibility into it.
