30 Startups Got Funding in May 2025
Get instant access to the most valuable early-stage deals most founders never hear about.
👋 Hey there,
I’ve curated this tracker featuring 30 Indian startups that raised $100K–$5M in May 2025 across AI, SaaS, HealthTech, Agri, D2C, Climate, and more.
These are real early-stage deals (Seed to Series A), sourced from credible platforms like YourStory, Inc42, BusinessLine, and Tracxn, not just the big headlines you see recycled everywhere.
Whether you’re:
• a founder mapping the investor landscape
• an investor scouting signal-rich bets
• or just curious about where early capital is flowing
… this doc gives you a sharp lens into India’s evolving startup momentum.
Each entry includes:
✅ Verified funding info
✅ Founder LinkedIn profiles
✅ Lead investors
✅ Quick insights to spot trends before they go mainstream
This isn’t sponsored. It’s just something I wish I had access to earlier — and something we’re now making possible at Backrr, a founder-first platform that helps streamline investor access and startup visibility in India.
Hope this helps you get smarter, faster. Feel free to pass it on if it does. 🙌
