About this list
Sytezo's Investor List, October 2026 edition: every fund on Blume Ventures' public Micro-VCs list, checked for recent activity and how to pitch.
What it is
Founders raising a first institutional round in India usually start from a spreadsheet of fund names. Most of those lists don't tell you whether a fund is still writing cheques, how big the cheques are, or how it wants to be pitched. This list does, for 109 micro-VCs: small, early-stage funds that typically write first cheques at pre-seed and seed.
Where the list comes from
The 109 funds and their sector tags come from Blume Ventures' Micro-VCs list (updated September 2025). We kept every fund on it, including the ones that look inactive, so you can see the whole field. Blume didn't make or review this site.
How we checked it
On 4 October 2026 we looked up each fund's website, its published thesis and application route, and news coverage of its deals (mainly Entrackr, Inc42, YourStory and the funds' own announcements). For each fund we recorded the deals we could date, its stages, sectors, cheque size where published, and how to pitch. Each fund page links its sources.
Some dates are estimated: where a news report wasn't dated in its address, we estimated the month from the publisher's article numbering. Those dates carry a ~.
What the activity labels mean
What this list can't tell you
- Unannounced deals. Many micro-VC cheques never make the news. “No recent deal found” means we couldn't find one, not that the fund has stopped.
- Exact cheque sizes. 41 of 109 funds publish a cheque size or had one reported. The rest say “Not published”.
- Whether a fund has money left. A fund near the end of its investment period may only be doing follow-ons.
Data confidence is recorded for every fund: 30 high, 60 medium and 19 low, depending on how many independent sources agreed.

Disclaimer
This list is for information only. It isn't investment, legal or financial advice, and it isn't a recommendation of any fund. Inclusion doesn't mean a fund endorses Sytezo, and Sytezo has no commercial relationship with the funds listed. Fund details change often, so always check the fund's own website before you pitch.
