WHY CHOSE US
What Makes Us Stand Out
At Negen Angel Fund, we present our clients with a curated deal flow.
We aim to identify startups which are tech-enabled and consumer facing, headed by founders having great entrepreneurship skills.
These businesses have potential to grow multifold and become leaders in their space.
We also look for startups with scalable business models during their growth stage, when they have a proven track record for their services and products with a big market and a long runway ahead.
The reason why we launched our startup platform was that we felt there was a need for a platform where clients are showcased deals which are evaluated as investment candidates by fund managers who have publicly available performance track record.
For instance, As of April 2022, Negen PMS, managed by our Founder, Mr. Neil Bahal, is having a post fee 3 year CAGR of 35%+.
With our Angel Fund, we are bringing our expertise of evaluating companies to the startup space.
Our fund will always focus on Quality over Quantity.
We will bring a curated deal flow of only 10-15 deals per year. Our endeavor is not to spray 100-200 deals per year onto clients where they find it impossible to properly evaluate any deal at their level.
"Quality is more important than Quantity.
One home run is better than two doubles"
-Steve Jobs
Negen Capital or its group entities will most likely co-invest in every deal that comes on our platform therefore having our own skin in the game along with clients.

FAQs
What is Negen Tech Opportunities Angel Fund?
Negen Tech Opportunities Angel Fund is a Trust registered with SEBI as a Category I Alternative Investment Fund– Angel Fund with effect from April 04, 2022, bearing registration number IN/AIF1/22-23/1036. Our angel fund raises funds from angel investors for investment in start-ups.
Where is our office and how do you contact us?
Our office is at City Hall, Oasis Complex, Kamala Mills Compound, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Lower Parel (W), Mumbai City, Maharashtra - 400013. For contact, you can email us at info@negenaif.com and for more details, please visit the contact us page by clicking here.
How does our angel fund work?
Negen Tech Opportunities Angel Fund privately pools the investment from angel investors to invest in the start-up as a single entity. Once the fund has invested money in a particular start-up, the start-up issues shares to our fund and the fund issues units to the investor. Therefore, it is the Angel Fund which has a direct shareholding in the company and not the Angel Investor.
Our team is constantly evaluating start-up pitches. After understanding the business model and founder's vision, we do legal and financial due diligence to make sure that the company has no red flags. We then present the start-up to all our investors for taking their consent for the investment. Investors can choose to invest or choose not to invest in the startup presented, at their own discretion.
The consented investors are issued a capital drawdown notice and their capital is pooled and invested into the start-up. The fund will issue units to the investors at a Face Value of Rs. 100 in proportion to the amount invested and these units will be visible when you login to your Investor Portal.
Post your investment, we provide periodic key business updates and various financial metrics. We also provide a periodic unit statement and yearly valuation report of investments to all investors.
What type of Startups do we aim to invest in?
Negen Angel Fund will always aim to invest in companies which are not burning cash excessively. We will aim to invest in startups which are on the path to becoming breakeven or already are profitable. We will look to provide growth capital to companies which have already generated traction in the market along with revenues and validation.
While there is no set rule, we will look to avoid companies at very early stage like ideation stage, etc. We look to work with startup founders building consumer - centric businesses. We endeavor to create long-term relationships with all our stakeholders while practicing a disciplined approach to investment.
Please note:
The above points are general guidelines and not strict rules. There could always be exceptional opportunities where we may use different Investment parameters than explained above.
How many deals do we present to the Investor?
We will bring a curated deal flow of up to 10 deals per year. Our endeavor is not to spray 100-200 deals per year onto clients where they find it impossible to properly evaluate any deal at their level.
