Sandeep is a former colleague of a friend and has decided to go the entrepreneurial way.

Here, he describes his meeting with Incu Capital and shares his observations on how most venture funds work.

A fairly informative read.

Pooja Warier is spearheading the cause of social entrepreneurship in India.

India Unltd is a hub in Mumbai and provides support infrastructure to social entrepreneurs.

Having met with Pooja, I (and my former colleagues) will vouch for her sincerity and belief in the cause.

Now, only if we could find some serious social entrepreneurs.

From what I have read and known, it's easier for Tech Ventures and Ideas to avail VC backing and expertise.

Why so?

A fresher venturing into his first business shall receive more support if his idea is related to science & technology/Online Marketing/Design.

Are non tech related projects more cumbersome? Riskier?

Don't VCs see value in Hospitality/Food/Publishing/etc…?

Yes, funding a Google and it's large scale impact on Society is gratifying.

Yet, wouldn't a home-made food for pets, self publishing, retailing, catering, mobile spas bring about enough cash flows?

In my mind, the only reason I see for more tech related backing is - Low Investment.

Even if the venture were to fail, the losses wouldn't be monumental…

Now, I could be wrong here.

Hence, would like more thoughts from Abhi, India Unbound, PsW, Dhawal, Yogesh and others who belong to/are associated with the coveted field of Technology…!
