Get a brief idea about the Seed fund and of the different ways in which the entrepreneurs generate seed fund. Also get an idea of the different methods of seed funding available in India for the Entrepreneurs.

1. Seed Capital Investment
Seed Capital Investment refers to the initial
round of investment required in setting up
a company, one that would help get your
idea off the ground.

2. • Acquiring seed funds is the initial challenge that
entrepreneurs face in establishing a startup
company.
• As most of the investment agencies in India are
eyeing companies that are looking for expansion,
they are very limited options available for
Entrepreneurs looking for seed capital.
• The reason for this trend being the risk involved
with Seed fund is more when compared to
investments that pertain to expansion in
companies.

3. How do Entrepreneurs generate seed
fund?
• Entrepreneurs generate funds of their own-
through savings and loans or turn towards
Family or Friends, humorously abbreviated as
FFF (friends, family and fools), for the Seed
fund.

4. • Angel Investors : Unlike the other players in
the Investment network like the Venture
Capitalists and Equity Financers- are quite
willing to provide the Seed Fund for these
Startup Companies.
• In return for these investments, they ask for
an equity stake in the company. They also
provide financial and legal assistance to the
Startup Companies as well.
• The number of such Angel Investors is quite
on the rise and looks like there are good days
ahead for Indian Entrepreneurs.

5. What do Startups do with the seed
fund?
• With the seed funds acquired, the Startup
Companies plunge into activity. The seed funds
might also be used for market research- to see if
the market’s ready for their product- and for
product development.
• This doesn’t take much of a time as the
Entrepreneurs would already have done their
homework before plunging into activity.
Utthishta is one such seed fund that provides funds
for startups in return for an equity stake in the
company.
