How to raise funds for your startup on LVX (formerly LetsVenture)
TL;DR
LVX is the new name of LetsVenture, the Bengaluru platform that connects Indian startups with angel investors, family offices and funds, and letsventure.com now redirects to lvxventures.com. Founders first take Elvix, a paid one-time startup assessment, and the fundraising application opens once it is complete. It suits Indian startups from pre-seed to pre-IPO with traction and a deck ready for investor scrutiny.
What is LVX?
LetsVenture started as an online platform for angel investing in Indian startups and rebranded as LVX in 2025, as Inc42 and Entrepreneur India reported. The new brand runs three verticals: LVX Start for early-stage rounds, LVX Grow for growth-stage capital and LVX School for investor and founder education.
The LVX homepage lists 36,000+ platform investors, 300+ family offices and funds, 715+ deals and ₹1,160+ crore of committed deal value. Sister brands include LetsVenture Debt and LV Angel Fund, an angel fund registered with SEBI (the Securities and Exchange Board of India).
Who should apply to raise on LVX?
Good fit:
- Indian startups from pre-seed to Series A looking for angels and syndicates through LVX Start.
- Companies from Series A to pre-IPO raising fresh capital or selling existing shares through LVX Grow.
- Founders with early traction, a validated business model and a strong team, the criteria LVX lists on its founders page.
Skip it:
- Startups outside India. LVX presents itself as the gateway to India's private markets, and its deals run in rupees.
- Idea-stage founders without numbers. Elvix scores traction and unit economics, so a startup with no revenue data gets a weak report.
How much does LVX cost?
- Elvix assessment: a one-time fee. LVX shows the full amount with GST on the last step before you pay and does not publish it anywhere else. You get a refund if you cancel before the evaluation starts, and none once your company is in the queue.
- Raising: the founders page publishes no listing fee or success fee for startups. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing before you sign.
- Lead investors: most LVX deals have a lead, and LVX says leads may charge advisory equity or carry depending on their involvement.
The assessment does not guarantee funding or a listing.
How do you share your startup on LVX?
- Read the LVX founders page and pick your track: LVX Start (pre-seed to Series A) or LVX Grow (Series A to pre-IPO).
- Start Elvix for Founders: founder details, startup details with your pitch deck, then verification and payment. Sharing the details takes about five minutes.
- Get the report within 5 working days of payment. It scores six areas, from founder and team to investor fit, benchmarks you against peers, lists three likely investor objections and includes a 30-minute session with the LVX investment team.
- Submit the fundraising application through Raise Funds, complete your profile and get verified.
- Prepare your deck, valuation and due diligence files, run pitch calls, and let the LVX team introduce you to lead or syndicate-lead investors.
Tips to get more out of LVX
- Fix the gaps the Elvix report names before you apply. The same three objections will come up on investor calls.
- Bring a lead investor if you have one. LVX helps find one if you don't, and a committed lead makes a syndicate easier to fill.
- Use only lvxventures.com. LVX warns that letsventurecredit.com is a fraudulent site that impersonates LetsVenture.
Our verdict
LVX gives Indian founders structured access to a large angel and family office network, and the rebrand added growth-stage deals and a paid assessment at the door. Founders with revenue and a clear round should apply; everyone else gets more from the Elvix report once the numbers are there.
