The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) is an initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurship across India by providing early-stage capital to entrepreneurs. This scheme offers financial assistance to startups for activities such as proof of concept, prototype development, product trials, market entry, and commercialization. The ultimate goal is to enable startups to progress to a stage where they can attract investments from angel investors or venture capitalists or secure loans from commercial banks or financial institutions.
