Campus Fund

Campus Fund is an India-focused early-stage venture firm with a sharp thesis: backing student and recent-graduate founders building companies out of Indian universities. The firm targets pre-seed and seed-stage businesses across sectors including consumer, fintech, B2B SaaS, and selective healthcare deals. Healthcare exposure is incidental rather than thematic — they are not a healthcare specialist, but they will back student-founded healthcare-tech companies that fit their student-founder mandate. For healthcare AI founders, Campus Fund is the right partner only if you are an Indian student or recent-graduate team and your company is at the pre-seed stage. Plausible check sizes are $25K to $200K, often as the first institutional capital before a larger Indian seed round. Founders who should approach: Indian university student or recent-graduate teams building digital health, telemedicine, healthcare SaaS, or consumer health products, particularly those who can leverage their campus network for early users and credibility. Founders who should not approach: experienced operators, US-or-Europe-headquartered companies, biotech, regulated medical devices, and any team that does not fit the student-founder narrative — applying without that fit wastes time. The fund’s value-add is the campus network, mentorship, and a small but useful first check that signals legitimacy to Indian seed investors. Entry path is direct application through their website, university entrepreneurship cells, or warm introduction from a Campus Fund alumnus. Their LinkedIn page tracks portfolio companies. Be prepared for a diligence process that emphasizes founder credibility, team chemistry, and a credible, focused early experiment, since pre-seed metrics are by definition thin.
