We are here to create more than just a ripple in the startup investment space and the angel fund will help us reach that goal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> Prashant Narang, co-founder of Agility Ventures, said the interesting thing about raising the kind of angel fund that has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is that it is sector-agnostic and does not limit itself to co-investments.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This model also simplifies the financing process without changing the core style of the angel network. In fact, it adds to the pre-existing angel investor&#8217;s style of financing, which usually entails Bridge rounds to pre-series A rounds,&#8221; Narang added.<\/p>\n<p> Agility Ventures is a global network spread across 25 chapters in India, Canada, the UAE, Australia and the UK as well. With a legal entity registered in America, they are also setting up a UAE-based team in February.
