OUR MISSION
ENABLE STARTUPS TO REALISE THEIR DREAMS
With the worsening global macroeconomic environment buffeted by geopolitical conflicts, in the face of rising interest rates, inflation, and concerns of a recession, today funding for Indian Startups has virtually dried up. The flight of capital in 2023 alone has seen a 73% drop in investments in Startups, down to only US $ 7 billion, against a record US $ 25 billion in 2022. This impacted India’s rating as the highest funded geographies which dropped to number 5 from the number three in 2022.
The flight of capital today threatens to erode the entire Startup ecosystem adversely impacting economic growth drivers. This comes at a time when India sees a major contribution of the Startup ecosystem for its 5 trillion dollar economy goal. This will in turn see many an unsatiated dreams of the Startup entrepreneurs inevitably competing for private equity capital now more so from within India rather than relying upon global markets.
Startups today are faced with a serious challenge!
It is here that Private Equity Junction Pvt. Ltd., a new startup duly approved by the Government of India has created a unique platform www.privateequityjunction.com that will go a long way in helping the startups realise their dreams by mobilising investments from the 80 million-odd Indian investor community in addition to foreign investors. The Website for the first time brings both the Startups, seeking investments, and the Investors, seeking Startups together to showcase their prowess and clinch their deals directly with one another.
Private Equity Junction an investment platform for startups and growth companies essentially serves as a service provider facilitating both the startups seeking investments and investors seeking their ideal Startups and projects for investing.
As a fintech company, Private Equity Junction stands for lean processes, specialized knowledge, and efficient solutions. We are the drivers of innovation in the field of professional online corporate finance subserving the needs of both the startups and the investing community. This is the first time that such a unique platform has been created that provides direct investment opportunities for Investors in potential Startups. And indeed, an opportunity for Startups to seek direct investments from individual investors.
As India has a great track record for startups that have grown into unicorns (startups whose valuations have crossed US$ 1 billion,) it is also perhaps for the first time the Indian investing community will be fortunate to partake in the equity investments of such potential unicorn enterprises.
India is home to 114 Unicorns till October 3, 2023, with their combined valuation exceeding $ 349.67 Billion. Of the total number of unicorns, 45 Unicorns with a total valuation of $ 102.30 Billion were born in 2021 and 22 Unicorns with a total valuation of US$ 29.20 Billion were born in 2022.
The Private Equity Junction will unlock investments in not only existing Startups and well-known unlisted private companies but also Startup – unicorns in addition to giving direct investment opportunities to Indian investors and direct investments into new Startups.
Private Equity Junction’s outreach programme will help Startups to not only connect with investors directly but also provide he entire service from identifying the potential deal to the closing and exist with the help of specialist advisories and the team members. A Grand Opportunity that!
