Fundraise Preparations Services in Delhi

Delhi-NCR startups raised ~$2.2 Bn across 224 deals in 2025, India's #2 hub ahead of Mumbai. But most growth capital sits with funds in Gurugram and Noida, and Series A+ depth is thin. EaseUp makes your model, deck and data room investor-grade before you pitch.

Why Delhi founders stall before the term sheet

Delhi-NCR is India's #2 funding hub, but 2025's capital pooled into fewer, larger late-stage rounds while seed softened. Founders pitching funds that saw Paytm decks face a higher bar.

A financial model investors don't trust

NCR funds like Peak XV, Accel and Vertex want unit economics, repeat rate and a path to margin. A model built on hope, not cohort logic, draws a polite pass.

A messy cap table that scares diligence

Tangled founder splits, undocumented angel cheques from IAN or IPV, and a missing ESOP pool surface fast in diligence. Caladium and Blue Dot won't fund that chaos.

A thin data room and a valuation gap

With growth capital in Gurugram and Noida, your data room must travel without you. Thin metrics, no compliance trail and an inflated ask stall rounds you thought closed.

Investor-ready, the way NCR funds expect

EaseUp is India's trusted Virtual CFO and fundraise-prep firm. We build the five things Delhi-NCR investors diligence: a defensible financial model, an investor-grade pitch deck, a clean cap table with ESOP plan, a structured data room, and a valuation backed by real NCR comparables.

Organizations

Delhi-NCR's investor base is deep but split: angel capital sits within NCT, while most growth cheques come from funds in Gurugram and Noida. Match investor to stage to win.

Active VCs & Micro-VCs

NCR VCs in 2025 span every stage. Peak XV Partners, Accel and Vertex Ventures led early-stage; Caladium Investment and Blue Dot Partners topped late-stage; General Catalyst backed Raphe mPhibr's defence round. Faad Capital and AngelBay write seed. Over five years NCR ran ~2,003 seed and 99 late-stage rounds.

Angel Networks & Syndicates

Delhi-NCR hosts ~47 angel networks. The most active are Indian Angel Network (IAN), Inflection Point Ventures (NCR's largest, 303+ investments), Venture Catalysts and India Accelerator - 2025's top seed backers.

Incubators & Accelerators

Delhi-city's incubation backbone is academic. FITT-IIT Delhi has run since 1999-2000 and seeded 300+ startups, with the IIT Delhi R&I Park (Hauz Khas) housing 125+. AIC IIT Delhi runs under NITI Aayog's AIM, and IIITD (Okhla) backs deep tech. India Accelerator and Venture Catalysts run NCR accelerators.

Startup & Funding Hubs

IIT Delhi R&I Park (Hauz Khas), IIITD (Okhla), Connaught Place, Nehru Place, Aerocity; growth capital in Gurugram (Cyber City/DLF) & Noida

Delhi Startup Policy & Funding Support

State Startup Policy

The draft Delhi Startup Policy 2025 (released Aug 2025, not yet gazette-notified as of 2026) targets 5,000 new NCT startups by 2035. It proposes a single-window Delhi Startup Portal and a Delhi Incubation Hub. Eligibility needs a registered Delhi office and DPIIT recognition. Delhi's own Rs 200 Cr fund remains draft.

Seed Fund & Grant Schemes

The draft policy's flagship is a proposed Rs 200 Cr (~$24 Mn) Delhi Startup/VC seed fund - still pending. Proposed incentives include a Rs 2 lakh/month allowance (up to 1 year), co-working lease reimbursement up to Rs 10 lakh/yr, plus patent and exhibition support. Until notified, the seed path runs via SISFS.

Central Schemes (SISFS & Startup India)

Delhi taps Startup India's backbone: DPIIT recognition for tax benefits, the Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) via incubators like FITT-IIT Delhi and AIC IIT Delhi, plus SIDBI's Fund of Funds.

Single-Window Clearance

The draft Delhi Startup Portal is the proposed single-window for registrations and incentives; until notified, DPIIT recognition is the gateway.

Fundraising Playbooks for Delhi's Key Sectors

Ecommerce & D2C

Seed rounds typically run ~$0.5-2 Mn. NCR investors - IAN and IPV angels, then funds like Accel and Vertex - want proven unit economics, repeat rate and an omnichannel path. They stress-test CAC payback and contribution margin against Lenskart and Mamaearth. EaseUp builds the cohort model and data room that survive it.

Delhi-NCR's most fundable startup sectors today

media
mediamedia
media

Ecommerce & D2C

NCR's top sector for a decade, anchored by Lenskart, Mamaearth and DealShare. Investors fund clean unit economics, repeat rate and an omnichannel path you must prove.

Fintech & Insurtech

Built on the Paytm and PolicyBazaar lineage, NCR fintech raises on lending or distribution rails. Investors diligence compliance trails as hard as growth, so show both.

Enterprise Tech & SaaS

SaaS and enterprise software top NCR angel and early-stage targets. Recurring revenue, net retention and a credible GTM win cheques from Peak XV, Accel and Vertex.

Edtech

Post-correction, NCR edtech raises on profitability, not growth-at-all-costs. PhysicsWallah's $210 Mn Series B proved appetite for the cash-efficient scale you must show.

Logistics & B2B Commerce

Delhivery, Moglix and Oxyzo make NCR a logistics and B2B-commerce stronghold. Investors back network density and a gross-margin path where scale compounds margin.

Defence & Deep Tech

Noida's Raphe mPhibr became India's first defence-tech soonicorn in 2025. Anchored by IIT Delhi, deep tech needs IP, deployment credibility and PSU-procurement access.
