🔥 "Many Are Asking Me: Can I Start Angel Investing With ₹50K or ₹1-2 Lakhs? Here's My Honest Answer 👇"
Most of the Times I’ve received DMs from all kinds of people not just full-time investors, but salaried professionals, first-time angels, and MNC employees looking to diversify their savings. 💼💸
They often ask:
👉 “Can I invest in startups along with you?”
👉 “How much do I need to start?”
👉 “Is ₹25K ₹50K or ₹1L enough?”
So here’s my honest answer from experience, not theory 👇
💡 Yes, you can absolutely start angel investing , But More realistically, with Minimum ₹5 lakhs and Multiples
Not ₹50K. Not ₹1L or 2
Because anything less usually won’t give you enough skin in the game. You may lose interest, panic during tough times, or exit too early.
Startup investing isn’t a lottery ticket or a quick win.
It’s a long-term journey where you back real founders, ride the ups & downs, and grow together. 🚀
⚠️ But Be Aware Here Are the Real Risks:
🧯 High Failure Rate
7–8 out of 10 startups may fail. Even great ideas sometimes don’t succeed.
💰 No Fixed Returns
No guaranteed income. Returns can take 5–7+ years or may never come.
🔒 Illiquidity
Startup equity isn’t tradable like stocks. You stay invested until there’s an acquisition or exit.
📉 Dilution & Down Rounds
Future fundraising may dilute your stake, especially if you're not part of follow-on rounds.
🕵️♂️ Limited Control
As an angel, you don’t control how the business runs. You’re betting on the founder’s execution.
🎭 Paper Gains ≠ Real Gains
Until there's an actual exit or liquidity event, all valuations are just numbers on paper.
🧠 Why Am I Sharing This?
Because there’s a shift happening.
People are looking beyond traditional investments. They’re open to backing early-stage companies, learning the startup ecosystem, and taking calculated risks for meaningful returns.
And that’s where I step in not as a broker or consultant, but as a fellow investor.
Here’s What I Bring to the Table:
✅ Invested in 50+ startups via TDVentures
✅ Access to filtered, real startup deals with proper due diligence
✅ I invest my own capital first before inviting others
