There are Concerns – but also Confidence
• Currency devaluation
• Political uncertainty given general
elections in 2014
• Lack of political consensus
• Uncertain tax environment
• That said, Growth projected to be 5-6%+,
and if the above concerns are alleviated
and a more investor-friendly Govt is in
Power, this could be higher

Early Stage VC in India
Venture 2.0; building ground-up this time
Blume Ventures
Why “India early stage”?
Blume Ventures
Private and Confidential
Early stage venture in India can offer higher risk-adjusted returns relative to other asset
classes. Investors can potentially get earlier and multiple exit options – besides IPO or M&A,
stakes could potentially be acquired by VC/PE investors across various financing rounds

India - Early Stage Funding
Private and Confidential
Many VCs in India have moved upstream, into the realm of Growth VC and PE.
This has created a gap for startups that need critical seed and angel funding
Blume’s focus A majority of VCs have moved upstream

Blume Ventures
India – Shift from 2009 to 2013
Private and Confidential
Pre -
Series A
• Burst of accelerators, seed funds, super
angels (& their quasi-funds)
• Blume was first of its size in this cycle – at
least a dozen more emerged in last 24 months
• Reduced attractiveness of the 2006-08
vintage angel groups
• Fragmented angel networks don't work well
as yet (close-knit networks only)
• Lack of a network / marketplace of mentors,
advisors, domain experts, service providers
(we may build it like FRC / @500)
• Almost NO change in the set of Series
A / B / C players
• Some wind-downs, some rebranding,
some splits amongst larger VCs
• Most of them on new funds + limited
exits => large active portfolios
• IPO market as dormant as ever in
tech, focussed only on exceptionally
large cash-flow or gross rev biz models
• Trickle of M&A; we need a flood
Blume Ventures
Lack of transparency around VC performance
Private and Confidential
Smorgasboard of Investment Styles Blume Ventures
the Pre-80’s style small
funds, small investments
(not too many deep tech
plays though)
the 2005+ disruptor
funds such as the entire
audience at pre-money
the 2008+ "new
accelerator" models
(YC / TS clones and bad
ones at that) - more
focussed on demo days
than value
-
the pre-2005 "incubator"
models - legacy college
based, govt funded
the we-are-the-domain-
experts accelerators like
tandem and angelprime
the let's-copy-the-valley
model (classic $150-250
mill funds, all the usual
suspects)
all models coexisting and
jostling for space - what we
have is a smorgasbord of
styles, lots of noise, everyone
waiting for the music to begin
India – the Nuances
Private and Confidential
• RedBus (Bus Ticketing)
• Tally (Accounting Software on CD)
• AppsDaily (offline App Store)
• Gharpay, Delhivery (e-comm Only
Logistics and Payments)
• JustDial (yellow pages on Voice)
• MadRat Games (Indic language, local
character design – board games)
• Large Cash Economy, cards
underpenetrated, payment infra highly
regulated
• Do-it-for-me > DIY
• Transport Infrastructure creaking –
overburdened as its being built
• Every City’s Tech culture is quite
different
• Broadband Infra well below optimal
• Mobile Service Providers have too
much control over app economy
Blume Ventures
Every challenge is an opportunity, but nuanced….
Some Localized Startup Ideas Localized problems that
Investors need to be aware of
India – some big ideas & themes
Private and Confidential
• Mobile First (device and access penetration much higher)
• Fix the SMB problems (35-40 million small businesses)
• Location tracking and services
• Fixing e-commerce backends – B2B commerce, payments
• Video bigger than text?
• Audio / Video Indic languages content bigger than English
• Gaming – will leapfrog consoles to Mobile and Tablets
• Crowdsourcing – Surveys, Information, Tasks, Capital
• Reimagine traditional plays – travel, jobs, housing, dating/marriage

Blume – a short history
Blume Ventures Fund I is a 2011 vintage $20 mil India-focused seed
stage fund
Helping Indian tech startups seeking a round between $100,000 to
$500,000 in a seed/angel round
Blume’s sweet spot is $100-$250K (in rounds that it LEADS; >50% of
round)
And $50-$250K in Syndicates (<35% of round)
We then support our best companies with bridges (mostly convert
notes to next rounds) + pro-rata participation in Series A rounds –
with an additional $200-$750K
Stakes post-Series A are 10-15 % (in Leads) and 5-10 % (in
Syndicates), with a few exceptions on either end of the range
Blume Performance

6 “up-rounds” (Series A / “green shoots” Series A’s) in Blume’s portfolio

Blume Mantra = Back to basics + best-of-breed
India’s need:
to build a classic bottom-up Venture Ecosystem model with best-of-breed
practices adopted from disruptor funds - both from US Innovators and
Other Markets (China / Europe / Israel)
We take “inspiration” from all the godfathers
- USV / FRC / Felicis / @500 teaching us risk/capital allocn
- First Round teaching us building automation of ecosystems
- Angelist will enable future building of co-investment syndicates
- Innovation Works & Andreesen Horowitz teach us scaling ops
- Learning from Israel on how to “Build in India, Ship to the Planet”
We will further adapt for India
- Build proprietary angel network for high quality co-investors
- Build proprietary mentor and advisor networks
- Build own M&A platform for systematic exit strategy
Private and Confidential
Thank you @500
You’ll see a lot more of India and Blume soon

  • 10. Private and Confidential Early Stage VC in India Venture 2.0; building ground-up this time Blume Ventures
  • 11. Why “India early stage”? Blume Ventures Private and Confidential Early stage venture in India can offer higher risk-adjusted returns relative to other asset classes. Investors can potentially get earlier and multiple exit options – besides IPO or M&A, stakes could potentially be acquired by VC/PE investors across various financing rounds Public markets Private equity Venture capital Early stage Asset class 14-18% 18-22% 20-25% > 25% Target IRR returns IncreasingCompetition 100’s > 50 ~ 25 5-10 # of Organized Funds (India) IncreasingRetu More competition, inflated valuations, capital deployment pressures Valuations are still attractive, Investors collaborate & cooperate Blume Ventures
  • 12. India - Early Stage Funding Private and Confidential Many VCs in India have moved upstream, into the realm of Growth VC and PE. This has created a gap for startups that need critical seed and angel funding Blume’s focus A majority of VCs have moved upstream Pre - Series A • Angel groups • Individual angels • Angel funds • Incubators & Accelerators • Inventus • Accel • Helion • Sequoia Capital • IDG Ventures • Saama (formerly SVB) • Kalaari (formerly IndoUS) • Matrix • Nirvana • Omidyar • Qualcomm • Nexus • Canaan • NEA • Bessemer • Norwest • SAIF • Lightspeed • Fidelity • Tiger • Vertex • Intel • Cisco Blume Ventures
  • 13. India – Shift from 2009 to 2013 Private and Confidential Pre - Series A • Burst of accelerators, seed funds, super angels (& their quasi-funds) • Blume was first of its size in this cycle – at least a dozen more emerged in last 24 months • Reduced attractiveness of the 2006-08 vintage angel groups • Fragmented angel networks don't work well as yet (close-knit networks only) • Lack of a network / marketplace of mentors, advisors, domain experts, service providers (we may build it like FRC / @500) • Almost NO change in the set of Series A / B / C players • Some wind-downs, some rebranding, some splits amongst larger VCs • Most of them on new funds + limited exits => large active portfolios • IPO market as dormant as ever in tech, focussed only on exceptionally large cash-flow or gross rev biz models • Trickle of M&A; we need a flood Blume Ventures Lack of transparency around VC performance
  • 14. Private and Confidential Smorgasboard of Investment Styles Blume Ventures the Pre-80’s style small funds, small investments (not too many deep tech plays though) the 2005+ disruptor funds such as the entire audience at pre-money the 2008+ "new accelerator" models (YC / TS clones and bad ones at that) - more focussed on demo days than value - the pre-2005 "incubator" models - legacy college based, govt funded the we-are-the-domain- experts accelerators like tandem and angelprime the let's-copy-the-valley model (classic $150-250 mill funds, all the usual suspects) all models coexisting and jostling for space - what we have is a smorgasbord of styles, lots of noise, everyone waiting for the music to begin
  • 15. India – the Nuances Private and Confidential • RedBus (Bus Ticketing) • Tally (Accounting Software on CD) • AppsDaily (offline App Store) • Gharpay, Delhivery (e-comm Only Logistics and Payments) • JustDial (yellow pages on Voice) • MadRat Games (Indic language, local character design – board games) • Large Cash Economy, cards underpenetrated, payment infra highly regulated • Do-it-for-me > DIY • Transport Infrastructure creaking – overburdened as its being built • Every City’s Tech culture is quite different • Broadband Infra well below optimal • Mobile Service Providers have too much control over app economy Blume Ventures Every challenge is an opportunity, but nuanced…. Some Localized Startup Ideas Localized problems that Investors need to be aware of
  • 16. India – some big ideas & themes Private and Confidential • Mobile First (device and access penetration much higher) • Fix the SMB problems (35-40 million small businesses) • Location tracking and services • Fixing e-commerce backends – B2B commerce, payments • Video bigger than text? • Audio / Video Indic languages content bigger than English • Gaming – will leapfrog consoles to Mobile and Tablets • Crowdsourcing – Surveys, Information, Tasks, Capital • Reimagine traditional plays – travel, jobs, housing, dating/marriage Blume Ventures
  • 17. Private and Confidential Blume Ventures @ the heart and center of the microVC movement Blume Ventures
  • 18. Private and Confidential Blume – a short history Blume Ventures Fund I is a 2011 vintage $20 mil India-focused seed stage fund Helping Indian tech startups seeking a round between $100,000 to $500,000 in a seed/angel round Blume’s sweet spot is $100-$250K (in rounds that it LEADS; >50% of round) And $50-$250K in Syndicates (<35% of round) We then support our best companies with bridges (mostly convert notes to next rounds) + pro-rata participation in Series A rounds – with an additional $200-$750K Stakes post-Series A are 10-15 % (in Leads) and 5-10 % (in Syndicates), with a few exceptions on either end of the range
  • 19. Blume Performance Private and Confidential 6 “up-rounds” (Series A / “green shoots” Series A’s) in Blume’s portfolio to date – from VCs including Accel, Helion, Kalaari (formerly IndoUS Ventures), Nirvana Ventures and Jungle Ventures (Singapore) Blume Ventures ……Another 3 in term sheet stage ………..Average multiple achieved @next round = 3x ……………..2 shutdowns, both cos’ assets being sold for a small price
