I believe talent isn’t the gap, both India and the US have world‑class founders. But in India, the battle is for survival‑ trust and funding to go global are hard earned. In the US, it’s a race to scale‑ capital flows faster, but expectations also rise quicker.

A $2 M cheque closes in 2–4 weeks in the US but takes about 6 months in India.

- FEMA & RBI compliance slowing every foreign cheque
- An MCA portal that is down or broken half the time
- Multiple investment committees per fund, each adding weeks
- 100‑page SHAs that turn a term sheet into a 3‑month negotiation

I noted SEBI’s new rules effective September 2026 that restrict Angel Funds to raise new capital only from accredited investors, tightening the early‑stage funding landscape.

- Accreditation requires annual income ≥ ₹2 Crore **or** net worth ≥ ₹7.5 Crore with at least ₹3.75 Crore in financial assets.
- Approximately 650 accredited investors exist in India.
- Sponsors must commit 0.5 % of the investment **or** ₹50,000 (whichever is higher) per deal.
