Over the past few years, family offices world over, have been acting a lot more like venture investors. They are increasing their allocations to venture capital as a way to capture the potential upside of early-stage deals, and also building out their own in-house capabilities to directly and successfully invest in start-ups. Three-quarters of family offices have directly invested in start-ups, and one-quarter have sourced their own deals, as per a recent global survey of family office executives and family members conducted by Silicon Valley Bank and family office advisors Campden Wealth in US. On an average, a larger overall portion of the dollars they invest in ventures are going directly to start-ups than into VC funds.

 
The Indian investors are still not among the significant lot when it comes to investing in the Startups, as compared to other countries like USA, China, Japan, or Australia from where our Indian startups have largely received funding. It is imperative to recognize wealth creation within the country. Investors comprising of Indian Family offices, HNIs and UHNIs mostly invest in conventional asset classes like stocks, real-estate and gold and if we try to channelize a fraction of their investments towards funding Indian start-ups it would boost the ecosystem to great lengths.


The first edition of the Masterclass for Family offices with the theme: Why investing in startups should be a part of your portfolio was held in the month of August 2021 and was a huge success with participation of 60 Family offices.
