Blume Ventures: The Early Stage Founder's Guide

Superscout Free Beginner India

This is what 'research the fund before you send' looks like for an Indian founder: a single fund broken down into its actual thesis (India-first companies that scale globally), stage (seed and Series A), check size (roughly 200K to 2.5M dollars), sector focus, and how they take intros. Read one of these on every fund on your list and you can write the tailored first slide that names their exact angle instead of a generic one.

  • Blume writes seed and Series A cheques of about 200K to 2.5M dollars into India-rooted companies built to scale globally, so map your stage and geography to that before pitching
  • The page names the sectors they actually deploy into (fintech, healthcare, climate, SaaS, frontier tech) plus portfolio proof points you can mirror in a tailored slide
  • Most Blume deals come through warm intros from their own founders and the ecosystem, which is your cue to find a portfolio-founder path in rather than cold-emailing
