How to Apply for Tamil Nadu SC/ST Startup Fund (Equity Fund) by StartupTN

The application process begins by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the StartupTN portal. This is followed by an initial assessment to evaluate eligibility and business potential. Next, a business validation step checks the feasibility and market fit of the startup. The proposal then goes before an Investment Committee for review and approval. Finally, the Project Sanction Committee gives the final go-ahead before funds are disbursed. Applications are processed in batches on a first-in, first-out basis, and the entire process may take 4 to 6 months.
