StartupFund is an independent, consolidated directory mapping government grants, central/state subsidies, and startup support programs in one searchable place. We aggregate non-dilutive and seed funding opportunities to help Indian founders discover, evaluate, and navigate compliance requirements without scanning hundreds of fragmented official portals.
We actively monitor and track active programs across state policies, Central Ministries, NABARD, SIDBI, and CSR consortiums. The directory is updated weekly as notifications change, providing founders with a fresh snapshot of active intakes, eligibility guidelines, and application links.
Please note that StartupFund is a private platform. We are not affiliated with Startup India, the Ministry of MSME, or any state government body. Program details are compiled for informational purposes, and listings do not imply endorsement or guaranteed approval by department panels.
Funding opportunities are classified into three types: Grants (non-repayable, equity-free funds meant for prototype building or proof-of-concept testing), Funds (structured seed capital, soft loans, or co-investment cycles that may carry low-interest terms or equity matches), and Subsidies (retrospective compliance fee reimbursements, such as patent filings or registration cost rebates).
Most applications demand a Certificate of Incorporation, Startup PAN, DPIIT Recognition number, and basic bank statements or audited financials. Disbursement periods depend heavily on official evaluation structures and are typically paid out against milestone validation.
