Building the Future, Together

IITM Angel Investor Network is an angel investment community supporting startups founded by IIT Madras students, alumni, and faculty. More than an investment platform, It is a collaborative network that brings together experienced entrepreneurs, successful alumni, venture capitalists, and industry leaders with a shared mission - to help founders build transformative companies.

We believe that early-stage founders need more than capital. They need guidance, access, strategic connections, and a community that believes in their vision. Through funding opportunities, mentorship, investor access, and ecosystem support, we empower entrepreneurs to build scalable businesses with global impact.

Together, we strengthen the legacy of IIT Madras as one of India's leading innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems.

Investment Philosophy

Backing Bold Ideas from Day One

We invest in visionary founders at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages across industries. Our focus is founder-first rather than sector-first. We seek startups solving meaningful problems using technology, deep research, innovation, or scalable business models.
