What this scheme actually is
BioAngels is a partnership between BIRAC and the Indian Angel Network built for one purpose: getting biotech, medtech, healthtech, pharma, agritech and cleantech startups in front of angels who understand the science. The value is as much in the diligence-grade feedback and the domain mentoring as in the cheque.
Implementing agency: BIRAC and Indian Angel Network

What we actually do on a scheme mandate
Services this usually needs
No consultant can guarantee a sanction — that decision sits with the evaluating committee, bank or incubator. We commit to an honest eligibility view, an application built to the evaluator’s format, filing inside the window and a documented follow-up cadence. That is stated in every engagement letter we sign.
