A Fund Seeding Scheme is a government-backed initiative that provides early-stage financial support to startups to help them turn innovative ideas into viable businesses. The scheme acts as seed capital, which startups can use for product development, market validation, hiring, and operational expenses before generating revenue.
Fund Seeding Schemes are usually offered under Startup India, state government initiatives, or other innovation promotion programs, and are designed to bridge the funding gap for new entrepreneurs.
Invenix India helps startups identify applicable fund seeding schemes, prepare strong applications, and secure the financial support needed to scale their business successfully, ensuring compliance with all government requirements.

Startups must meet the following criteria to be eligible for Fund Seeding Schemes:

  • Type of Entity: Must be a Private Limited Company, LLP, or Partnership Firm registered in India.
  • Company Age: Should be less than 10 years old from the date of incorporation.
  • Innovation & Scalability: Must be working on an innovative product, service, or process with potential for growth and scalability.

  • Original Entity: Should be a newly incorporated entity, not formed by splitting or reconstructing an existing business.
  • Compliance: Must comply with all legal and regulatory requirements applicable to startups in India.

Incubators are organizations or institutions that support early-stage startups by providing resources, mentorship, and infrastructure to help them grow and succeed. They offer services such as office space, funding guidance, business mentoring, networking opportunities, and access to industry experts.

Incubators aim to reduce the risks associated with starting a business and accelerate the startup’s growth by offering a structured environment for innovation, product development, and market entry. Many incubators are recognized under government initiatives like Startup India, giving startups access to additional funding and support programs.

Common types of grants available for startups include:

  • Innovation Grants: Provided to startups developing innovative products, processes, or services, encouraging research and technology development.
  • Research & Development (R&D) Grants: Financial support for R&D activities, helping startups test prototypes, conduct experiments, and improve their offerings.
  • Technology Commercialization Grants: Assists startups in bringing innovative technology to market, covering costs like product testing, certification, and pilot production.
