Commencing a new business requires substantial resources, and one of the most important of these is funds. Most startups end up raising funds from external sources to meet varied needs through its lifecycle. In 2021, Indian startups raised funds to the tune of USD 42 Bn. While a majority of these funds came from Private Equity and Venture Capitalists (VCs) that funded the late growth stage requirements, it also included rising contributions from the family offices, Angel Investors and Startup Accelerators that funded early-growth stage startups.
