SteerX, a platform built by healthcare leaders for changemakers and disrupters, has launched India’s first Angel Fund exclusively focused on the healthcare sector, marking a significant milestone for the country’s growing healthcare innovation ecosystem.
Registered with SEBI as a Category-I Venture Capital (Angel) Fund, the newly launched fund - SteerX Angel Fund I - has a target corpus of ₹100 crore, with an additional ₹100 crore green shoe option.
The fund plans to invest in over 30 early-stage startups, solving high-impact healthcare challenges, with strong differentiation, IP, and early traction. Fund’s thesis includes backing A-rated founding teams building scalable businesses with large market potential and a clear path to profitability.
