Masters’ Union has launched a Rs 100 crore early-stage investment fund, MU Ventures, to support entrepreneurs under the age of 25.
The Gurugram-based institution will invest between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 50 lakh per startup, with an average initial cheque of Rs 10–20 lakh.
The advisory board includes Shishir Maheshwari, Arjun Vaidya, and Swapna Gupta.
MU Ventures will operate through four tracks, including a ‘Dropout Fund’ for student founders, a ‘Bharat Capital Fund’ focused on Tier 2–4 markets, and a ‘Content Creator Fund’ for digital-first startups.
Founded in 2020 by Pratham Mittal, Masters’ Union offers industry-driven postgraduate programmes and follows a “learn by doing” approach.
The sector-agnostic fund will accept applications on a rolling basis.
Beyond capital, selected startups will receive mentorship, co-working space, technology credits, and investor-readiness support through partnerships with firms such as Amazon, Google, and Razorpay.
Founders backed by MU Ventures will also participate in a demo day in San Francisco, where they will interact with global investors.
Startups emerging from its ecosystem include Sanyark Space, Cryptique, Flourish Foods, Bambaii, Guardex, Bana Roma, and Mom’s Mixes.
