What Sprint Vc does

Sprint VC is an India-based angel investment platform and SEBI-registered venture capital fund manager that combines active angel investing with passive LP participation in a single fund. The platform is operated by Salil Chakrabarty Venture Partners LLP, which serves as Investment Manager for the Salil Chakrabarty Innovation Fund (SCIF), a Category 1 SEBI-registered Venture Capital Fund (Angel Fund) with registration number IN/AIF1/22-23/1102. The company is headquartered in Bangalore, India, and targets high net worth individuals, emerging angel investors, and corporate investors who meet SEBI's angel investor eligibility criteria (individuals with net tangible assets of at least Rs. 2 Crores or bodies corporate with net worth of at least Rs. 10 Crores).

Sprint's core products are the Angel SIP (Systematic Investment Plan), which applies mutual fund SIP mechanics to angel investing through monthly contributions starting at Rs. 100,000/$1,000 over 30 months, and the Salil Chakrabarty Innovation Fund, with minimum commitments of Rs. 25 Lakhs. The platform supports individual deal participation from Rs. 25,000 per opportunity. The underlying technology includes a portfolio construction methodology based on analysis of 26,000 VC investments targeting 100+ company portfolios to minimize risk of negative returns, a structured due diligence framework covering legal, financial, compliance, and business dimensions, and a self-serve digital platform for investor onboarding and deal evaluation.

Sprint derives revenue from non-refundable upfront, placement, and commitment fees on the Angel Fund plus carried interest on fund returns, charged only after investors achieve a 12% CAGR. The Fund Manager is required to co-invest a minimum of 2X the recommended amount in every deal, aligning manager and LP interests. As of 31 December 2025, Sprint has invested Rs. 59.05 Crores ($6.56M) across 351 startups, achieved a 1.29X MOIC on Rs. 76.35 Crores ($8.48M) in latest portfolio value, and built a community of 730 angel investors across 7 countries. Fund infrastructure is supported by Catalyst Trusteeship Limited (trustee), RBL Bank (banking), and Orbis Financial Corporation Limited (custodian and fund accountant). Sprint's stated vision is to fund 1,000 game-changing companies over the next 5 years and build a community of 10,000 angel investors.
