The document discusses the changing landscape of angel investing in India, highlighting that approximately 200-300 startups receive funding annually despite a large potential market. Key factors impacting funding include limited access to investors and long investment lead times, though there is a rising interest in early-stage funding with new capital sources emerging. Let’s Venture aims to simplify and enhance the startup funding ecosystem by connecting startups with investors and facilitating online engagement.
