About a4X

a4X is a seed investment platform run by GVFL Limited, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It connects seed-stage startups that have a working proof of concept or minimum viable product with venture funds, family offices, angel networks and individual investors.

How the platform works

Startups share details about their company, their traction and their fundraising goals through a startup intake form on the a4X website. The team then assesses fit, readiness and alignment with its investor community, and connects the startups it takes on with investors in its network.

Who can apply

The site says it supports seed-stage startups with a working PoC or MVP that are actively raising capital and looking for investors, mentors, partners or ecosystem support. Equity and fee terms are not stated on the site.

What it is

The a4X website describes it as a seed investment platform and names no accelerator or incubator programme of its own. Two third-party sources describe it differently. A 2023 news report described a GVFL and Brinc accelerator under the name A4X, and a company-data profile calls a4X a co-investment and accelerator platform. Neither description appears on the a4X website, and no current batch, intake date or deadline is confirmed.

Who runs it

GVFL Limited is the parent company named on the a4X website. A 2023 news report describes GVFL as a venture fund manager based in Ahmedabad, founded in 1990 and formerly known as Gujarat Venture Finance Limited. The a4X website does not state a founding year for a4X itself.

Network

The a4X website describes its own network with these counts: 23+ venture capital funds, 16+ family offices, 8+ angel networks, 55+ accelerators and incubators, and 39+ angel investors. These are the platform's self-reported partner counts. They are not a count of startups supported.

Location

The office is in Nehrunagar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, with postal code 380015.
