Startup funding application

LAN is a group of investors who give financial support, mentorship and guidance to early-stage startups. You apply directly, with no introduction needed, and shortlisted startups pitch to the network's investors.

Who can apply

• Early-stage startups in any industry with an innovative solution, a scalable business model and a capable team
• Main focus on Ludhiana and Punjab, with applications from across India considered
• Stage on the form: idea or concept, proof of concept, or operational

How selection works: the team reviews your proposal, then invites shortlisted startups to pitch. Reviewers look at team experience, market potential, innovation, scalability, competitive advantage and financial projections. Funding talks follow if investors are interested, and the network says funding typically takes two to three months to finalise after a successful pitch.

How to apply: use the Startup tab of the Join Us page on the network's website. The form asks for sector, stage, the year you began, an elevator pitch, traction and a pitch deck. There is no fee to apply or pitch. Questions go to info@ludhianaangelsnetwork.com.
