India is home to more than 100 unicorns. Most of these companies had early backers who believed in them and provided funds at an early stage. Today, those early backers are millionaires because they believed in those startups and risked their money.
Startup investing was earlier limited to a certain set of people, but that is no longer the case, it has democratised. 

Who should invest in startups?

According to us, people with high networth having a high degree of risk taking ability should consider investing in startups. Domain experts may also consider investing in startups from the same sector as they will be able to assess the risk better.

Why is startup investing considered risky?

In their quest to grow quickly, startups tend to burn a lot of cash due to which there is a constant need for funding. If the funding dries up, it becomes very difficult for the startup to survive. Hence, there is very limited capital protection in case of startups. If you invest in any other instrument, there is a high degree of principal protection even if partially, which is not the case in startups.

What is the typical investment size and investment type in startups?

The cheque sizes usually range from 5-10L per startup. The investments are mostly equity investments. There are debt structures as well where you receive regular coupon payments, but they are less popular as startups are generally starved for cash and adding an interest payment may not be the best idea.
