About Campus Fund

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Campus Fund is a pre-seed venture capital firm with a highly specific and founder-friendly mandate: it backs student entrepreneurs and recent graduates who passed out after 2019 and hold at least 25% equity in their startups. This makes it one of the few institutional vehicles in India explicitly designed to serve the campus founder ecosystem, bridging the gap between idea-stage startups and more traditional early-stage capital. The fund is sector-agnostic, meaning founders across technology, consumer, deeptech, edtech, or any other domain are eligible to apply, provided they meet the founder-profile criteria. Cheque sizes range from approximately $50,000 to $1,000,000, giving it meaningful flexibility to lead or co-invest at the pre-seed stage. For student founders who often struggle to access institutional capital due to lack of operating history or professional networks, Campus Fund offers a rare entry point into the formal venture ecosystem. Founders are encouraged to review the portfolio and application details directly on yourcampusfund.com, and can reach the fund's leadership through LinkedIn before making a formal approach.
