About Rebalance

Rebalance describes itself as India's first accelerator programme and angel community with a mission to accelerate diversity in founders and funders, and to see more women in startups and venture capital. It says it is building an ecosystem that arms and exponentially advances female, diverse and non-binary people who are shaping and funding the future, with access to timely resources, capital and relevant networks. The accelerator comes in very early, at the zero to one stage, and by its own count has run ten cohorts, supported around 170 founders and made about 30 investments, with roughly 85 percent of the portfolio women-led. Investment is made at pre-seed and seed through the Rebalance Angel Community, an investor network it says is 60 percent women; investors join the community and attend demo days. Applications for its eleventh cohort are open.
