Rebalance is India’s first, largest accelerator and angel community that invests in startups led by female and diverse founders. Co-founded by Aishwarya Malhi and Vikas Kumar in 2019, Rebalance is on a mission to accelerate diversity in founders and funders.
We’ve hosted 120 founders over 7 accelerator cohorts and typically invest up to $200K from Rebalance Angel Community (RAC) in select companies from the batch.
We’ve invested in over 25 companies since 2020 across fintech, biotech, climate, drones, Gen AI, consumer brands, energy, deep tech healthcare, and more. We’re now India’s first and only angel community that’s 58% female with 1 in 4 angels per cap-table being women.
We kickstarted Rebalance’s 7th accelerator cohort in April 2024 with 10 stellar startups across gen AI SaaS, productivity SaaS, consumer tech, D2C fashion, biotech, climate, ed-tech, healthcare, and more.
