The scheme document for Fund of Funds 2.0, a Rs 10,000 crore corpus that SIDBI puts into SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Funds, with a focus on deep tech, manufacturing and early growth stage startups. It explains why this is investor money, not a grant you apply for.

  • Total corpus of Rs 10,000 crore, implemented by SIDBI.
  • Money goes to SEBI-registered AIFs, which then invest in startups.
  • To benefit, pitch the funds it backs; there is no direct startup application.
