Profile

Venture Nursery (VN) is India’s first angel-backed start-up accelerator. It was established in March 2012 by two like-minded Angel Investors in Residence -Shravan Shroff, Founder and Former MD, Fame India Limited and Ravi Kiran, former CEO-South East & South Asia, Starcom MediaVest Group and Co-Founder, Friends of Ambition.





Based on the belief that the angel ecosystem must focus primarily on maximising the success potential of start-ups, VentureNursery undertakes an intensive and immersive coaching and mentoring role in the chosen start-ups and helps each with end-to-end infrastructural and learning support.





VentureNursery intends to conduct a minimum of two boot camps in a year in Mumbai and targets to accommodate up to three start-ups in each program. At the end of each boot camp, each successfully graduating start-up is evaluated for investment by a group of 25 angel investors.
