We write ₹25 lakh to ₹2 crore first cheques into founders building serious companies.
Angel Capital is an early-stage family office run by chartered accountants. We have read the inside of more businesses than most investors ever will — which is how we choose, and why our founders get structuring, tax and compliance support alongside the money.
No warm introduction needed. Every application gets a written answer within 21 days.
Money is the smallest thing we bring.
Our day job is auditing, structuring and advising companies. That work comes with the investment, done by our own team, and it is usually worth more in year one than the cheque itself.
Entity structure, holding companies, founder agreements and ESOP pools done right the first time.
Clean accounts, GST, TDS and statutory filings kept current, so your next round does not stall.
FEMA and RBI filings, transfer pricing, and your Singapore, UAE or US structure without guesswork.
Term sheet reading, cap table modelling, data room preparation and introductions we can stand behind.
43 companies, across 11 sectors.
Our founders are not named here. Most of them are building in security, defence and enterprise categories where a public investor list is a liability, so we describe the portfolio by sector instead.
Five steps. Three weeks. A written answer either way.
You will always know where you stand. If we go quiet past the timeline, chase us — we will not hold it against you.
The form takes about eight minutes. A deck link helps but is not required.
Day 1We check fit against our criteria and read everything you wrote. Most passes happen here.
Week 1An hour with the founders. Not a pitch — a conversation about what is actually hard.
Week 2References, books, cap table and filings. We tell you what we are looking at and share what we find.
Week 3A short, founder-friendly term sheet and money that moves quickly — or a no with reasons.
By day 21Guides we wish someone had given us.
Plain-language explainers on the documents and decisions that catch first-time founders out. No email gate, no download form.
The six clauses that decide what your equity is actually worth, and the three that rarely matter.
Shareholders agreementsReserved matters, drag and tag, and the founder protections worth negotiating hard for.
Valuation without theatreHow early-stage valuations are really set, and why a higher number can cost you the round after.
Tell us what you are building.
Eight minutes, four short parts, and a written reply within 21 days. If it is a no, we will tell you why.
Common questions.
Not before a first read — we see too many companies in the same categories for that to be workable. Everything you send is held in confidence regardless and is never shared with other investors without your written consent. We are happy to sign an NDA before diligence begins.
No. We take minority positions and ask for quarterly updates and standard information rights. An observer seat where the round warrants it, and a view whenever you want one.
No, and it will not move you up the queue. Applications are read in the order they arrive. Most of the companies we have backed simply wrote in.
At the smaller end, yes, and we will set clean terms. In larger rounds we follow. We do not require another lead to be in place before committing.
Because many of our founders have asked us not to, and in some cases we are under contractual confidentiality. Security, defence and enterprise companies in particular treat their investor list as sensitive information. Where a founder is happy to be named, we will make an introduction on request.
No. Angel Capital invests proprietary family office capital. It is not a pooled investment vehicle, does not accept outside subscriptions, and is not registered with SEBI as an alternative investment fund. Nothing on this site is an offer or invitation to invest.
