We will invest in very early stage startups - companies that are still discovering a revenue model, pricing, product or strategy. Working only with those who don't have the time to spend a lot of money, we commit amounts of Rs 20 lacs to 200 lacs, and take stakes of 10-25% on the usual vulture capital terms.
We know a bit about VC funds - raised money, managed and even invested in them. It's tough work, and very competitive. The easy thing is to invest early on. That's what we do. We are serious about our work, we have a Board, an Investment Committee, Mentors, and the Investment Managers.
The founders of our portfolio companies also are a part of the IQ team, actually the most useful guys.
