Y-Point VC Fund
A platform for Deep Science ventures
Y-Point is a DeepTech-focused early-stage venture capital fund initiated by SINE, IIT Bombay — one of India’s most respected and long-standing technology incubators.
Over the last two decades, SINE has supported 250+ technology ventures and over 1,000 entrepreneurs, enabling the rise of category leaders such as ideaForge, Sedemac, Atomberg, and ImmunoACT. With Y-Point, we extend our role — from incubator to investor.
As an initiative of SINE, IIT Bombay, Y-Point gives founders access to a powerful, integrated ecosystem:
Direct links to top academic talent, IP, and spinouts
Support from domain experts, policymakers, and regulatory networks
Curated mentorship from seasoned entrepreneurs and technologists
Warm introductions to growth-stage VCs, corporates, and GTM partners
Access to world-class labs and research infrastructure (including high-end prototyping and testing facilities)
Y-Point is built to de-risk deeptech and accelerate the journey from prototype to product to market.
Stage : Pre-seed to early Series A — we invest early and help ventures build strong foundations.
Sectors : We focus on DeepTech startups emerging from higher education and research institutions, in areas such as:
There’s a critical funding gap between lab-stage innovation and market-ready ventures — especially for deep science and engineering-led startups. Y-Point bridges this gap, backing DeepTech founders at the earliest stages and supporting them through the toughest part of the journey.
We invest in ventures where research meets real-world impact — and where commercial success demands more than capital alone.
