LVX Ventures

Pick the right route first

• Raising equity for an early round from Pre-Seed to Series A: start with the fundraising route on LVX.
• Raising a later round: LVX Grow covers Series A to Pre-IPO.
• Earning revenue and wanting a loan rather than equity: check LVX Debt.
• Want an outside read before you pitch: the Elvix assessment is a paid, one-time option.

How applications work

• Sign up through the LVX app and complete your profile.
• If you are fundraising, fill in the fuller profile, including your investor deck, traction, competition and round details.
• Stealth or private profiles are supported if you do not want investors to see you yet.
• For Elvix, have your deck ready. Founders at the idea and pre-seed point do not need a CIN.

How selection works

• Startups are curated for Investor Connect before they can invite and connect with investors.
• Debt applications go through a call with the LVX Debt team, then lending partners.
• Elite Studio shortlists on the pitch deck, financial models and key details, then talks through your goals.

What reviewers look for

• Strong founding teams, validated business models, large market potential, early traction, and disruptive potential, in the platform's own words.
• For Elvix, a clear answer on the six dimensions: team, market and timing, product and moat, traction and unit economics, capital efficiency and investor fit.
• Revenue history and a healthy credit profile for LVX Debt.

LVX Ventures is an investment platform based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, that brings founders and investors together. It was founded in 2013 as LetsVenture, and it now operates under the LVX name. Founders use it to raise equity, to get an outside read on their company, or to arrange debt.

Who it is for

LVX Start is for founders raising from Pre-Seed to Series A. LVX Grow is for companies raising from Series A to Pre-IPO, including primary and secondary rounds. The site says it invests in sectors such as consumer, D2C, dronetech, spacetech and brands, and its debt offer describes itself as sector-agnostic. The platform has no eligibility criteria for startups, and startups from non-tech sectors may join.

How fundraising on LVX works

Signing up is free. The platform says the fee is charged only after a deal closes. You complete a profile with basic details if you are not raising yet, and a fuller profile with your investor deck, traction, competition and round details if you are. LVX then does a soft curation based on its Startup Funding Readiness Index. Only startups approved at that step can invite and connect with investors on the platform. Stealth and private profiles are supported.

Most deals on LVX have a lead investor. If you do not have one, the team can help find one. The valuation is set mainly in discussion with the lead investor. LVX coordinates the paperwork from commitments to closure, including term sheets and shareholder agreements, and it helps startups share a quarterly investor report once the round is in.

Elvix: the paid assessment

Elvix for Founders is a one-time paid assessment, offered as an investment-committee style read before you raise. Elvix scores your company across 320+ data points on six dimensions: founder and team, market and timing, product and moat, traction and unit economics, capital efficiency, and fundability and investor fit. The report includes the evidence behind each score, the three objections you are likely to get, an investor-fit read and a deck gap check.

You also get a 30-minute review with an LVX investment team member, and a fundraising application is unlocked on completion. The page gives two turnaround times: a report in 5 working days, and 48 business hours for the evaluation step. The fee is refundable if you cancel before the evaluation begins. The assessment does not guarantee funding or a listing on LVX, and applying to raise is a separate choice you make after you read the report.

Founders at the idea and pre-seed point can take the assessment without a company identification number (CIN). From seed onward, a CIN is asked for.

LVX Debt for businesses that earn revenue

LVX Debt arranges non-dilutive loans for businesses that already earn revenue. The site lists term loans, a line of credit (OD) and revenue-based financing, placed through lending partners. Repayment structures are matched to your business model and cash flow. The stated eligibility is revenue generating for 12 months or longer, minimum revenue over the last 12 months, a CIBIL score of 700+, and no excess debt.

After you register your interest, the LVX Debt team calls you, you share the required documents, and LVX submits the application to its lending partners. The page says this takes 5 to 7 working days from receiving all the documents.

LV Elite Studio before a raise

LV Elite Studio is a quarterly 6-8 week programme for founders planning to raise within the next 4-6 months. It offers mentorship, market access and funding readiness inside a community of founders. Each cohort has a theme. Building for Bharat covers Tier 2/3 and non-urban markets, EliteCrossOver covers global expansion, HERizon is for women-led startups, and Sands of Innovation covers the MENA region.

Work includes feedback on product-market fit and positioning, financial models with benchmarks, one-to-one advisory, an investor-ready pitch deck, introductions to four potential customers, and a demo day in front of a handpicked panel of investors. Premium packages add term sheet reviews, legal support and mock investor meetings.
