Delhi Angels

Is this the right route for you?

• You want investment, not a grant. Delhi Angels is an angel network. Funding comes as an investment, so expect to discuss valuation and the stake you will give up.
• Your startup is early stage. The site talks about early-stage startups, and lists the sectors it prefers: IoT, Ed-Tech, Fin Tech, AI, Consumer Tech, SaaS and Ad & Marketing Tech.

How to apply

• Use the Join to get Funding button under Raise Funds With Us on the homepage. It opens an online form.
• You can also write to hello@delhiangels.com.
• The form needs a Google sign-in to view, so prepare your usual investor materials: a short deck, your traction and what you plan to do with the money.

What happens after you apply

• The site names five stages: Application, Evaluation, Selection, Investors Connect and Due Diligence.
• No response times, pitch dates or deadlines are stated, so ask in your message how long each stage usually takes.

Before you send anything

• Check that the group is currently active. The site footer is dated 2024.
• Ask what it needs from you in writing before you share sensitive material.

Delhi Angels describes itself as an angel investment network and innovation platform based in Delhi. Its homepage says it connects startups with investors, and that it backs early-stage startups that have the potential to create lasting value. This page is a fundraising route, not a grant: money from an angel network comes as an investment, so expect to talk about what you give up in return.

Who is behind it

The site presents Delhi Angels as a group of investors rather than a single fund. Its Marquee Investors section names members from real estate, consulting, commission-marketing and internet businesses, and a separate section introduces an investor and strategic mentor from the power-backup industry who shares expertise in process excellence, standardisation and building scalable businesses. The site gives no legal form or registration, so treat the member list as the group's own description.

What it offers founders

The homepage lists four things under What Do We Offer: hands-on support through the stages of a startup journey, mentorship from the team and the angel investors, access to a Delhi NCR startup community, and capital. It also says it tailors its services to each startup, whether you need seed funding or growth capital.

Stage and sectors

Delhi Angels says it is sector agnostic but prefers companies in IoT, Ed-Tech, Fin Tech, Artificial Intelligence, Consumer Tech, SaaS and Ad & Marketing Tech. It talks about early-stage startups, and the portfolio examples it shows are Delhi-based technology businesses: LetReach, Sponsify Me, ServX and Real Box.

How the process works

The site sets out a Fund Raising Process in five stages: Application, Evaluation, Selection, Investors Connect and Due Diligence. Its founder testimonials describe the process as fast and transparent, and one says other angel groups can take a long time to decide. These are the group's own quotes and are not independently checked.

How to apply

The Raise Funds With Us section has a Join to get Funding button that opens an online form. The form sits behind a Google sign-in, so we could not read its questions. You can also write to the group's role inbox on its contact page.

Things to know

The website footer is dated 2024 and the portfolio examples are older startups, so the site may not be updated often. The homepage mentions an event for the D2C Mafia community, but no dates were visible. The group's office is a desk in a coworking centre in Connaught Place, run by a third party, so it does not offer workspace to startups.
