Where’s the seed money 💰 for startups coming from in 2025? Various information about startups that you must know from Economic survey 🔥. 🚀As India’s startup wave continues, most founders still start with their own money. But the ecosystem is evolving. Here's a deep dive: (Sources including economy survey of India) 🫐Self-funding still dominates According to recent surveys: 79% of Indian founders use personal savings or family funds.💰 🫐Only 14% rely on angel or VC funding at the start.👍 Bootstrapping remains the backbone of Indian entrepreneurship. 🫐Funding challenges continue 🫐62% of founders say access to credit is their no.1 hurdle 🫐Crowdfunding is slowly rising in India, but still under 5% of startups use it. Biggest barriers? Lack of awareness, trust, and digital literacy. 🫐What startups are people building? Top trending sectors in 2024–25: 🔹AI & SaaS🔥 🔹Fintech💵 🔹Healthtech🏥 🔹AgriTech🌾 Green energy Still popular: consulting, retail, real estate, and services. 🫐 It doesn’t happen overnight 🍎58% of founders spend 6–12 months preparing before launch. 🍎24% take 1–2 years to go from idea to execution. Planning & iteration matter more than rushing. 🍏 Revenue reality in year one 🍏79% earn under ₹40L ($50K) in their first year 🍏Only 9% cross ₹80L ($100K) 🍊Less than 1.5% hit ₹8 Cr ($1M) Most startups take 2–3 years to reach stability. 🍏Small but mighty teams 🍏72% of new startups have just 1–3 employees 🔥Solo founders are still very common Lean teams allow quick execution—but can limit scale early on. 🫐Final thought Building a startup in 2025 is still tough—but more founders are stepping up with grit, innovation, and purpose. Bootstrapping is common. Progress is slow. But the impact? Huge. Keep building.
