TANFUND / StartupTN Funding Platform

StartupTN’s TANFUND platform connects startups to investors and matching funding routes. StartupTN materials reference matching grants/equity support up to ₹50 lakh for eligible startups. TANFUND functions as StartupTN's investor-discovery and deal-matching layer rather than a direct grant scheme — it curates a registry of angel investors, VCs and family offices and routes eligible Tamil Nadu startups on the StartupTN portal to matching funding conversations, which is distinct from StartupTN's separately administered TANSEED seed-grant rounds. Because the matching grant/equity support of up to ₹50 lakh referenced in program materials is dispensed through whichever specific call a startup is matched to, applicants should expect the actual terms (equity vs. grant, ticket size) to be set by the individual investor or scheme they are connected with rather than by TANFUND itself.
