Funds and platforms that write smaller, faster cheques — often the first institutional money in the round.
Micro-VCs and small-cheque funds specialise in speed and access. Cheques are smaller than classic institutional seed, but decisions can be faster, processes lighter, and founder support more hands-on. In India they often sit alongside angels and larger leads to fill or catalyse a round.
Founders should ask about ownership targets, follow-on reserves, and whether the fund typically leads or follows. A great micro-VC can unlock intros and round momentum; a weak one adds cap-table noise.
Pitch tightly and ask for a clear yes/no window. Use them strategically — especially when you need a first believer or a bridge to a larger lead.
