Razorpay, a digital payments unicorn, has launched the Razorpay Venture Investment Programme in collaboration with Peak XV Partners and Lightspeed. This initiative aims to support early-stage B2B startups by investing up to $1 million annually in 10-15 startups across sectors like fintech and healthcare. Besides funding, participants will gain access to Razorpay’s API suite, mentorship from leadership, and connections to its distribution network. Startups will also join Razorpay Rize, a community for networking and support. Applications can be made through Razorpay’s website, reflecting a broader shift towards seed and early-stage investment opportunities amid market challenges.
