Early Seed Ventures (ESV) is an angel investment consultancy and early-stage investment platform founded in 2020 by Monica Sharma, operating with a mission to democratize access to startup funding by bridging the gap between promising early-stage companies and private equity investors. The platform was built as more than a funding intermediary — ESV functions as a genuine partnership ecosystem, working closely with both founders and angel investors throughout the investment journey. Since its inception, ESV has backed startups across a diverse range of sectors including fintech, edtech, climatetech, agritech, blockchain, e-commerce marketplaces, spacetech, healthcare, wellness, and dating platforms. Notable portfolio companies include Tradebook, Legal Pay, One Green, EsportsXO, Tummoc, Continuous Care, Immersive Labz, Evallo, and Bamboo India, among others. ESV is distinguished by its transparent, thorough due diligence process and active investor community participation in screening — building confidence among both investors and founders. The platform also plays an active role in India’s university and incubation centre ecosystem, fostering early entrepreneurial talent through mentorship and community.
