India’s Top Early-Stage Fund

Backing Bold Founders
at idea stage

We back founders at paper-napkin stage that we call the -1 stage, before day zero. We put in a cheque of ₹10 Lakhs when all you have is an idea, an insight, and the courage to start. This venture fund is sector agnostic and open to all.

India’s top early-stage fund for under-25 founders who want to turn bold ideas into real companies.

At MU Ventures, we invest at the moment most others won’t. When your idea is still on paper, your prototype is not built, or your first customers are just a dream. We put in ₹10 lakh upfront and stand by you as your earliest believers.
We’re not here to bury you in pitch decks and formalities. We move fast and most of our funding decisions happen in under 10 days, and once you’re in, we immediately get to work with you on Customer Discovery, Rapid Prototyping, Growth Channels and Next Round Prep.
We’ve backed coders, dropouts, tinkerers, designers, and builders of all kinds. If you’re obsessed with solving a problem and willing to put in the work, we’ll give you the capital, connections, and credibility to get there.
No suits. No endless paperwork. Just a cheque, a committed crew, and a platform that gets you moving before the world catches on.
