247VC

Check the fit first

• 247VC describes itself as a seed fund for the earliest stage, on 0-1 journeys.
• Its four areas are advanced manufacturing, frontier deep tech, enterprise tech and consumer tech. Hardware, space, energy, biotech and AI-native software all appear in its portfolio.
• It says it wants founders with clarity of thought, strong execution and a long-term vision.

How to reach the fund

• Use the Pitch to Us button on the site. It opens an online form.
• The site does not publish a deadline, a screening process or a decision timeline, so do not assume a response window.
• For general questions, use the general inbox on the Reach Us page. The investor-relations inbox there is for investor queries.

Make your pitch easier to read

• Read the Why We Invested notes in the Library before you write. They show the points the team underwrites, such as testing hardware well past its specification and naming the main risk openly.
• Say which of the four areas you sit in and why now.
• Expect the team to ask about follow-on plans: the fund says it joins later rounds for companies it backs.

Other ways in

• NexTech is a founder event series for deep tech and hard tech. Editions ran in NCR, Hyderabad and Noida, and the site says it is coming to more cities. Applications were screened for the Noida edition.
• Founders who are not ready for a pitch can still follow the Playbook videos and Library essays to see how the team thinks.

247VC is a seed-stage venture fund that works from Mumbai and the Delhi NCR region. Its website describes it as India's go-to seed fund and says it backs founders at the earliest stage, on their 0-1 journey. The fund is set up as 247VC Investment Trust, which carries a SEBI registration number (IN/AIF2/25-26/1810), and Epico Investment Managers LLP is named as its investment manager.

Who 247VC backs

The site lists four areas. Advanced manufacturing covers the machines and technology that change how India produces at scale. Frontier deep tech is for science-first founders. Enterprise tech is described through AI-native enterprise software. Consumer tech covers companies shaping how India consumes. The portfolio page tags its companies across these areas, with names such as Dream Aerospace in space tech, ThinkMetal in 3D printing, Hummsa Biotech in synthetic biology, Bugbase and Zeron in cybersecurity, Vodex in generative AI, and abCoffee in food and beverage. A few entries are marked as partially exited or exited.

The fund says it wants bold, ambitious founders with clarity of thought, strong execution and a long-term vision. It also says it keeps backing winners after the first cheque by joining follow-on rounds, and the news section shows it led a Pre-Series A round in Dream Aerospace in June 2026.

What founders get besides capital

Four points are listed as its approach: founder alignment, network access, operator-led support, and follow-on investment. The network point covers introductions to early customers, hiring pipelines, follow-on investors and strategic partners. The team page lists four people, headed by two founding partners, and the home page names a group of advisors from venture capital, aerospace, manufacturing, space tech, circular economy and fintech.

How to pitch

There is a Pitch to Us button in the site menu and on the home page, and it opens an online form. The site does not publish an intake calendar, a deadline, a screening process or a decision timeline, so treat it as a pitch route and not as an open call. General questions go to the general inbox on the Reach Us page; a separate inbox there is for investor queries, not for founders.

NexTech founder events

247VC also runs NexTech, a series of in-person rooms for deep tech and hard tech founders. Its write-ups cover NCR in March 2026, Hyderabad in May 2026 and Noida in September 2026. For the Noida edition the fund says it screened 65 applications and brought together 30 founders, researchers and CTOs, alongside people from IIT Kanpur's incubation centre, the National Quantum Mission and MeitY. The Reach Us page says NexTech is coming to more cities, with no dates given. Founders building hardware or deep tech outside Bengaluru should watch for it.

What it publishes

The Library holds essays and news, such as a September 2026 piece on which layers of the semiconductor chain India can own, and detailed notes on why it invested in a company. The Playbook is a video library on deep tech, valuation, market timing and the hard parts of scaling. Reading the Dream Aerospace note shows what the team looks for: founders who test their hardware past its specification, and an honest account of the main risk.

Locations

The Reach Us page lists a Mumbai hub in Vikhroli West and a Delhi NCR operating base, with Bangalore marked as coming soon. A traineeship is also advertised there, for people who want to work on the investment side; it is not a founder programme.
