Micro-funding is a mode of Equity based Capital Investment model into Startups and Smaller Business Entities.

There seems to be a problem with the Venture Capital model in most countries - apart from the US - because of the fundamental mode of operation of these entities, translating into higher overheads, leading these firms to raise more capital to raise a better management fee, and there by not being able to invest in early stage companies.

Applicable to: India

There are several Initiatives going on in this space, and many more that are being discussed as the emergence of the new form of fund raising.

Example: Kiva Angelsoft
