Equity via participating funds; corpus described as ₹10,000 crore
Equity, through funds
Fund of Funds for Startups
The Fund of Funds for Startups is an equity corpus, described on the original site as ₹10,000 crore, which participates through venture and private-equity funds. Founders do not apply to it the way they apply for a bank loan. The published timeline for an equity process is about 90–180 days, and that is the fund’s process, not a Bridgeway promise.
Benefit
Institutional equity participation, not a subsidy
Timing
About 90–180 days for a typical equity process in the published guide
Who it is for
Startups that already fit a venture fund’s thesis and stage
What to understand first
- Bridgeway does not manage this corpus and cannot allocate it.
- The practical work is a fund-ready pitch, data room, and entity hygiene.
- Equity means dilution. It is the opposite of a non-refundable grant.
- Limits, subsidy rates, interest, and timelines are set by the implementing agency and the lending institution. The figures below are summarised from Bridgeway’s published scheme guide. They are not a sanction, a quote, or a government endorsement.
How we help
01 · Stage check
We say clearly if the company is early for institutional equity.
02 · Materials
We tighten the pitch deck, model, and corporate records investors ask for.
03 · Introductions
Where there is a fit, we help the founder approach funds. A meeting is not a term sheet.
04 · Process support
We help the team answer diligence questions.
Cautions
- Do not describe the Fund of Funds as money a consultant can ‘get sanctioned’.
- Grants or CGSS may be the honest path if the company is pre-revenue.
