What Dreamweaver Investments does

Dreamweaver Investments and Business Solutions (DIBS) is a privately held financial services firm and angel investment consortium based in Delhi NCR, India. The firm is structured as a partnership of 6 co-founders drawn from 6 distinct industries (FMCG/beverages, biotech, sheet-metal/fabrication, angel investing, legal/economics, and marketing), and is registered with the Reserve Bank of India as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) to carry on the business of investment and finance.

DIBS provides project funding, mentorship, and network access to early-stage technology startups in India and abroad. Investment ticket sizes range from INR 5 Lakhs to 1 Crore per company. Beyond capital, DIBS offers portfolio companies access to its partners' personal corporate resources, management expertise, and subject-matter networks across sectors including Agriculture, Automotive, Clean Tech, Education, Electronics, Engineering, F&B, Financial Services, Hospitality, Legal, Medical, Real Estate, Textiles, and Waste Management. Revenue is derived from investment returns (equity stakes and exits) and consultation/advisory fees.

The firm has disclosed only two portfolio investments to date — Stay Vista Pvt. Ltd. (2015, branded-accommodations network) and FalconBrick Technologies (2017, real-estate project-operations automation). DIBS has no proprietary technology platform, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed exits. The company's go-to-market is direct, partner-led sourcing through industry networks rather than a structured fund or platform.
