<h1>Government boosts startups with Fund of Funds, Seed Fund Scheme, and Credit Guarantee Scheme under Startup India</h1> The government has reinforced its startup ecosystem through three key schemes under the Startup India initiative: the Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS), the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), and the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS). FFS, managed by a development bank, channels capital to registered alternative investment funds, which must invest double the committed amount in startups, with nearly Rs. 9,994 crore committed to 141 funds as of June 2025. SISFS, operational since April 2021, provides financial aid to seed-stage startups via incubators, with Rs. 945 crore approved for 219 incubators. CGSS, active since April 2023, facilitates collateral-free loans backed by guarantees totaling Rs. 667.85 crore for 289 startups. Additionally, the Project Swavalambini promotes entrepreneurship among women students through training and faculty development in select states, reaching hundreds of students and faculty members.
