BIRAC Seed

BIRACs initiative -Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development Fund (“SEED Fund”) primarily aims to address this need through the Incubators.

The basic idea of SEED Fund is providing Capital assistance to start-ups with new and meritorious ideas, innovations and technologies. This would enable some of these start-ups to graduate to a level where they will be able to raise investments from angel/Venture capitalist or they will reach a position to seek loans from commercial banks /financial institutions. Thus, the proposed seed support is positioned to act as a bridge between promoters’ investment and Venture/Angel investment. This is not an investment scheme, but rather a support scheme to enable start-ups and incubator to attain sustainability.

The SEED fund provides the capital assistance to start-ups to bridge the gap between PoC and Scale up.

SEED support to incubatee start-ups in life sciences sector: Upto INR 25 lakh
