Trends of investment in the Angel/Seed stage investing

*New dedicated funds coming up that specifically focus on the Seedstage investment.

*Angel networks being formed in the cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune.

*Time taken to scale a start-up has come down significantly. It would take around 5-7 years for a company to go from a Start up to an IPO. This was earlier more than 10 years.
