StepUp Ventures Launches TSUV Angel Network (TAN) to Empower New Investors & Seed Startups

The StepUp Ventures, nation’s First Bharat-Focused Incubator, is revolutionizing the startup ecosystem with its TSUV Angel Network (TAN). Created for aspiring investors with limited time or expertise, TAN opens up opportunities in startup investing, making it accessible to all, while also providing early-stage startups with the resources they need to scale and succeed.

India’s startup landscape is evolving, with young entrepreneurs from smaller cities stepping up, backed by government schemes and funding. However, limited networks make securing funds difficult, and a lack of experienced mentors hampers early growth. Investors also struggle to find promising startups and the right resources for strong returns. TSUV, with a portfolio of over 51 companies valued at 400+ crores, bridges these gaps through the TSUV Angel Network (TAN), offering exclusive benefits to its members. TAN members gain early access to investment opportunities, giving them a first-mover advantage. They also receive regular updates on portfolio developments, keeping them well-informed in the evolving startup landscape.

Along with this, TAN will also support early-stage startups, as TSUV is committed to helping entrepreneurs validate their ideas and scale within the Indian startup ecosystem. This network will benefit startups with a monthly recurring revenue (MRR) of ₹20-50 lakhs, as well as seed-stage startups with a strong product and institutional backing.

Raja Singh Bhurji, CEO and Incubation Director of The StepUp Ventures, adds, “ TSUV Angel Network (TAN) has streamlined angel investing by providing a platform for individuals who are interested in startup investments but may not have the experience or time to manage them. By connecting like-minded investors, the network combines resources, increasing their negotiation power. It also offers an alternative investment avenue for those seeking high-risk, high-return opportunities.”

The TSUV Angel Network (TAN) currently comprises 80 to 100 investors, including key figures such as Mr. Mohammad Aslam, CEO of Vinsys, a publicly listed company. TAN is an industry-agnostic platform aligned with the principles of The Step Up Ventures, dedicated to empowering underprivileged and underserved communities on their entrepreneurial journey. The network also adheres to the United Nations-supported Principles of Responsible Investment, aiming to foster a sustainable global financial system that rewards long-term, responsible investment for the benefit of society and the environment.
