ArtVentures Fund gives you a fully built, SEBI-compliant investing platform, AI-powered deal intelligence, automated investor communications, and institutional-grade economics — so you can focus on what you do best: sourcing deals and bringing in investors.
Most syndicates run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and manual bank transfers. ArtVentures Fund gives you everything an institutional fund manager has, out of the box.
PAN verification, Aadhaar OKYC, and bank validation — investors are fully verified in one sitting, no paperwork.
Aletheia AI reads pitch decks and financials, then produces a structured memo covering market, team, risk, and moat — in under 5 minutes.
Every deal is scored 1–100 across 8 dimensions by Aletheia AI. You see the score before your investors do.
One-click payment link generation. Investor clicks, pays, and the commitment is recorded automatically in the system.
Welcome emails, deal alerts, investment confirmations, and WhatsApp blasts — all triggered automatically.
Full risk disclosures, accredited investor gating, and self-declarations — baked into every investor touchpoint.
Twenty capabilities that eliminate the operational burden of running a syndicate. Here is exactly what each one does and what you and your investors experience.
The moment a new investor signs up on the platform, they enter a guided three-step KYC flow powered by the TransBnk Advanced API. First, they enter their PAN number — the system instantly queries the NSDL database, validates the PAN against their name, and marks it verified. Second, they enter their Aadhaar number; the system sends an OTP to their registered mobile via Aadhaar OKYC, and they enter it to confirm identity. Third, they provide their bank account number and IFSC — the system runs a live penny-drop validation to confirm the account is active and belongs to them.
The entire sequence — from email signup to fully verified investor — takes under 10 minutes. There is no paper form to download, no branch visit, no back-and-forth email with documents. Once the investor passes all three checks, their KYC status updates to "Verified" in real time and they gain immediate access to deal pages and payment links.
As syndicate lead, you see each member's KYC status directly in your Syndicate Dashboard. You will never have to chase someone about their documents again.
When a founder submits a deal to the platform, Aletheia AI's Claude-powered models immediately begin processing every document attached — the pitch deck, financial model, market research, and any supplemental materials. Within minutes, the system produces a structured due diligence memo that reads like work from a seasoned investment analyst.
The memo is structured across six core sections: Market Sizing (TAM, SAM, SOM with sources), Financial Health (burn rate, runway, revenue trajectory, unit economics), Founder Background (prior exits, domain expertise, team gaps), Competitive Moat (defensibility, network effects, IP), Risk Factors (ranked by severity), and Art Market Relevance (how the business connects to the broader art investment thesis).
As syndicate lead, you receive the full memo before your investors see the deal. You can review, add your own commentary, and share it with your network alongside the deal card — giving you credibility as a lead who does rigorous diligence without spending 40 hours on it.
Every deal that passes admin review receives a composite score from 1 to 100, computed by Aletheia AI across eight weighted dimensions. The score appears prominently on every deal card in the Explore Deals feed, giving your investors an immediate signal before they read anything else.
The eight dimensions are: Market Size (potential TAM and growth rate), Team Quality (founder track record, domain depth, team completeness), Traction (revenue, user growth, retention), Competitive Moat (IP, network effects, switching costs), Financial Health (burn efficiency, unit economics), Exit Potential (realistic exit pathways and comps), Art Market Relevance (alignment with art investment thesis), and SEBI Compliance (regulatory readiness).
As syndicate lead, you can use the score as a pre-filter when deciding which deals to present to your network — and your investors will appreciate the rigour of a quantified framework rather than a narrative-only recommendation.
When an investor commits to a deal, the platform generates a Razorpay payment link specific to that deal and that investor's chosen investment amount. The link is sent to them via email automatically. The investor clicks the link, sees the pre-filled deal name and amount, and pays via UPI, NEFT, debit card, or credit card — whichever they prefer.
On payment success, Razorpay fires a webhook confirmation back to the platform. The webhook handler records the investment in the Convex database, marks the investor's commitment as "Paid and Confirmed," updates the deal's funding progress bar, and triggers an investment confirmation email — all within seconds of the payment clearing.
The fund receives capital in T+1 settlement. There are no manual reconciliation steps, no chasing investors for bank transfer references, and no spreadsheets to update. As syndicate lead, you simply watch the committed capital number climb in your dashboard.
Every investor in your syndicate has a personal dashboard that becomes their home for everything ArtVentures-related. The portal is designed to give investors confidence that their capital is being managed professionally — which directly reduces churn and referral hesitation.
The dashboard displays: a portfolio summary card (total invested, current estimated value, blended IRR, return multiple), individual deal cards for each investment (amount, stage, estimated current value, expected return range, exit timeline), KYC status with a clear verified/pending indicator, capital deployment status per deal, their unique referral link for inviting other investors, and deal alert subscription settings showing which categories they are subscribed to.
Investors can also view the AI due diligence memo for any deal they have invested in, so they always have the full investment rationale at their fingertips. Support contact and WhatsApp access are also surfaced directly on the portal.
Your Syndicate Dashboard is the operational nerve centre of your syndicate. At the top, you see four headline numbers: Total Members (all investors who have joined under your syndicate), Committed Capital (total amount committed across all open deals), Deployed Capital (capital that has been invested and is working), and Your Commission Tracker (management fee accrued and carry projected based on current portfolio performance).
Below the headline metrics, you have a Deal Pipeline view showing every deal associated with your syndicate: its current raise status, funding progress bar, days remaining to close, and investor count. You can click into any deal to see which of your members have committed and at what amounts.
The Member List section shows every investor in your syndicate with their name, KYC status, total committed amount, investment history, and a direct invite option to share the platform with them. You can also send a new deal alert to your entire syndicate directly from the dashboard with one click.
Investors choose which categories of deals they want to be notified about when they sign up or from their dashboard settings. The available categories are: Visual Art, NFT / Digital Art, Gallery & Physical Space, Performing Arts, Art Technology, and Craft & Heritage.
The moment a new deal is approved by the ArtVentures admin team and goes live on the platform, the system checks which investors have subscribed to that deal's category. Each matching investor receives a beautifully designed email alert via Resend, containing the deal name, category, raise target, minimum ticket size, and a direct link to the deal page — all generated and sent automatically, with no action required from you.
This means your investors stay engaged with the platform between deals, and when a relevant opportunity surfaces, they are notified before they even think to check the platform. Warm, timely, and relevant — all automated.
When a new deal goes live, the platform surfaces a one-click WhatsApp share button on both the deal page and your syndicate dashboard. Clicking it opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message ready to send — the message includes the deal name, raise amount, minimum ticket size, and the direct deal link on the platform.
You can send this to your WhatsApp groups with a single tap. Investors in your network who have not yet joined the platform can click the link, sign up, complete KYC, and invest — all in one session. The referral attribution system automatically links new signups from your shared link back to your syndicate, so your member count and AUM grow organically through your existing network.
This feature is particularly powerful for syndicates where the lead has a strong WhatsApp presence with HNI networks, family offices, or art collectors. No new tool to learn — you are using the same channel your contacts already live in.
Founders submit deals to the platform through a structured deal submission form — covering the business description, financials, team, raise amount, minimum ticket, use of funds, and any supporting documents. Every submission lands in the ArtVentures Admin Approval Queue for review before it is visible to investors.
The admin team reviews the full pitch, checks the AI due diligence memo, and makes a decision. Approved deals are immediately published to the Explore Deals feed and trigger deal alert emails to subscribed investors. Rejected deals trigger an automated email to the founder with the rejection reason, giving them a chance to improve and resubmit.
This gating layer protects your investors from low-quality deal flow — a critical trust signal that distinguishes a professionally managed syndicate from an informal group. As syndicate lead, you benefit from this filter without having to run the screening process yourself.
Every new user on the platform — investor, syndicate lead, or founder — receives a role-specific welcome email within seconds of signing up, sent via Resend's transactional email infrastructure. These are not generic confirmation emails. Each email is tailored to the recipient's role and tells them exactly what to do next.
Investors receive a welcome email with a link to complete KYC, a preview of the current live deals, and their referral link. Syndicate leads receive an email with their dashboard link, instructions on inviting members, and the commission structure. Founders receive an email confirming their account, a link to submit their deal, and what to expect from the review process.
The emails are designed to match the ArtVentures brand — dark-themed, professional, and formatted to render perfectly in both dark mode and light mode email clients. First impressions matter, and your investors will feel they have joined a serious, well-run operation from the very first touchpoint.
The moment an investor's Razorpay payment clears, an investment confirmation email is automatically triggered via the Resend webhook integration. The email is personalised to the investor and includes: the deal name and a short description, the confirmed investment amount, the expected return range (based on the deal's financial projections), a direct link to their portfolio showing the new investment, and the ArtVentures support contact for any questions.
This email serves two purposes. First, it gives the investor immediate confidence that their payment was received and recorded. Second, it becomes a permanent record they can refer back to — their "investment receipt." Investors who receive professional post-investment communications are significantly more likely to invest again and refer others.
No action is required from you as syndicate lead. This entire flow — payment, confirmation, portfolio update — is fully automated from the moment the investor clicks pay.
Running an angel syndicate in India requires navigating SEBI's investor protection framework. The ArtVentures platform has a SEBI compliance layer embedded at every relevant touchpoint so that you, as syndicate lead, are never exposed to regulatory risk.
The accredited investor gate is enforced at signup: investors must self-declare that their net worth is ≥ ₹5 Crore OR their income is ≥ ₹50 Lakhs per annum. Only investors who meet this threshold can access deal pages and make investments. The self-declaration is collected, timestamped, and stored in the Convex database against the investor's profile — creating an auditable record.
SEBI risk disclosures appear on the signup page, on every deal page before the investment commit button, and on the landing page. These disclosures cover the illiquid nature of private investments, the risk of total loss of capital, the absence of guaranteed returns, and the platform's regulatory status.
The Explore Deals page is the core discovery experience for your investors. It presents all active deals in a card-based, filterable marketplace that investors can browse and sort in real time.
Filters include: Stage (Seed, Pre-Series A, Series A, Series B, Growth), Category (Digital Art, Gallery, Blockchain, AI Tools, Performing Arts, Craft), and Minimum Investment (₹1L, ₹5L, ₹10L, ₹25L+). Investors can combine multiple filters to surface exactly the kind of deals they are looking for.
Each deal card shows: the deal name and company logo, a category badge with colour coding, the total raise target, the minimum ticket size, a real-time funding progress bar showing how much of the raise has been committed, the number of investors who have already committed, and the Aletheia AI score prominently displayed at the top right of the card. Clicking the card opens the full individual deal page.
Each deal has a dedicated, standalone page that serves as the complete investor information document. The page is structured to take a sceptical investor from "curious" to "convinced" to "committed" in a single session.
The page contains: the full founder description of the business, business model and revenue streams, team profiles with backgrounds and photos, a financials summary (revenue, burn, runway, key metrics), the full Aletheia AI due diligence memo with its eight-section analysis, investment tiers (different ticket sizes with associated terms or benefits), and the Commit to Deal CTA which generates a Razorpay payment link for the chosen amount.
The deal page is designed to be shareable — you can send the URL directly to investors in your network. They land on a professional, information-rich page that answers every question they might have, reducing the back-and-forth that typically consumes a syndicate lead's time.
Founders who list deals on ArtVentures have their own dashboard — separate from the investor portal and syndicate dashboard — that gives them live visibility into their fundraise without needing to email you or the platform for updates.
The founder dashboard displays: funding progress (amount raised vs. target, as a percentage and absolute number), active investor count (number of confirmed commitments), days to close based on the deal deadline, a commitment list showing each investor's committed amount (anonymised), deal status (under review / live / funded / closed), and an option to submit updates to investors (e.g., a milestone announcement or a change in the raise terms).
This self-service transparency reduces founder anxiety, builds trust in the platform, and means founders are more likely to recommend ArtVentures to other founders in their network — growing your deal pipeline without any effort on your part.
The Portfolio section of the investor dashboard is where investors see the financial picture of their ArtVentures holdings. This is the view that keeps investors engaged between deals and creates the "wealth management" feel that serious HNI investors expect.
Each investment is displayed as a card showing: the company name and deal category, the invested amount, the current deal stage, the current estimated value (updated based on any valuation events or founder updates), the return multiple (1.0× at investment, updated as value changes), and the expected exit timeline. At the top of the portfolio page, an aggregate summary shows total capital deployed, current total portfolio value, blended return multiple across all investments, and a blended IRR estimate.
Investors who can see their portfolio growing — even before exits — are dramatically more likely to increase their commitment in future deals and to refer other investors. This view is one of the most powerful retention tools on the platform.
Every investor on the platform receives a unique referral link generated at signup. When they share this link with a contact who then signs up and completes KYC, the new investor is automatically attributed to the referring investor and to your syndicate.
The referral tracking system logs: the referring investor's ID, the timestamp of the referral signup, whether the referred investor completed KYC, and whether the referred investor made their first investment. The referring investor can see their referral count and status on their personal dashboard under a "Referral" tab.
As syndicate lead, you earn referral attribution at the syndicate level — every investor who joins through any member of your syndicate's referral chain is counted as part of your AUM. You can see your total referral-driven AUM in your Syndicate Dashboard. This creates an organic, self-reinforcing growth loop where your existing investors bring in new investors on your behalf.
The Member Management section of your Syndicate Dashboard is your complete investor roster. Every investor who has joined under your syndicate is listed here with a rich profile card: their name, email, KYC status (Verified / Pending / Rejected), date joined, total committed amount across all deals, number of investments, and their last activity date on the platform.
You can send an invite to a new investor directly from this screen — the platform generates a personalised invitation email with your syndicate's name on it and a link to sign up under your syndicate. You can also click into any individual member's profile to see their full investment history within your syndicate, which deals they are committed to, and what their expected returns are.
If a member's KYC is pending, you can see exactly which step they are stuck on (PAN, Aadhaar, or bank validation) and follow up with them with that specific information — reducing drop-off in your onboarding funnel without any guesswork.
The investor and syndicate dashboards include a Market Insights sidebar that surfaces live and synthesised market data relevant to art investment. This widget is updated continuously by Aletheia AI's data synthesis models, which aggregate data from art auction indices, gallery sales data, macroeconomic feeds, and art market research publications.
The sidebar displays: an Art Market Index showing the current direction of the broader Indian and global art market, trending categories (which art sub-sectors are seeing the most deal activity and investor interest this month), recent exits (any notable exits or liquidity events in the art investment space), and macro indicators relevant to private investment — RBI interest rates, USD/INR rate, and market volatility signals.
This context helps your investors understand why a particular deal is attractive right now — and makes the platform feel like a living intelligence tool rather than a static deal repository. Investors who feel informed are more confident investors.
For deals that require a Special Purpose Vehicle structure — where investors pool capital into an SPV that then makes the investment into the target company — the ArtVentures admin team can generate the requisite SPV documentation directly from within the platform for each qualifying deal.
The generated documents are stored in the platform's secure document repository and linked to the deal page. Investors and the syndicate lead can access the SPV documentation at any time from the deal's page or from the investment card in their portfolio. The documentation includes the SPV's incorporation details, the investment agreement, profit-sharing and carry structure, exit provisions, and any deal-specific terms.
Having SPV documentation generated and stored within the platform — rather than exchanged over email in various versions — eliminates version confusion, ensures all investors are working from the same legal structure, and creates a clean audit trail that any future acquirer or regulator can review.
The economics of a well-run syndicate compound quickly. Here is what the numbers look like at realistic scale.
| Metric | Conservative | Base Case | Upside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Syndicate AUM | ₹5 Cr | ₹10 Cr | ₹25 Cr |
| Annual Mgmt Fee (2%) | ₹10 L | ₹20 L | ₹50 L |
| Portfolio Return Multiple | 2× | 3× | 5× |
| Total Portfolio Gain | ₹5 Cr | ₹20 Cr | ₹100 Cr |
| Your Carry (20%) | ₹1 Cr | ₹4 Cr | ₹20 Cr |
| Total Earnings (Fees + Carry) | ₹1.3 Cr | ₹4.6 Cr | ₹21 Cr |
Indian art market transactions grew 28% CAGR over the last decade. Emerging categories — digital provenance technology, gallery software, NFT authentication, and art finance platforms — are at Series A valuations that are structurally below global comparables. A syndicate lead with strong deal sourcing in this sector, backed by Aletheia AI's deal intelligence and ArtVentures' operational platform, has a credible path to 3–5× portfolio returns over a 5–7 year horizon.
This is a partnership built on playing to strengths. You bring what cannot be automated. We handle everything that can be.
From angel investors and art sector professionals who have experienced the platform firsthand.
The AI due diligence memo is the single biggest unlock for me. I was spending 3–4 days on diligence for each deal. Now I get a 6-page structured memo in 5 minutes and spend my time adding my own sector judgement on top. My investors trust my recommendations more because the analytical layer is institutional-grade.
I had 40 HNI contacts in my WhatsApp who had told me they wanted art exposure but I never had a clean way to show them a deal. With ArtVentures, I share a deal link and they can go from clicking the link to KYC to paying — in one session, on their phone. My first syndicate raise closed in 11 days.
The compliance piece was what I was most nervous about. I knew my network wanted to invest but I didn't want the legal exposure of running something unstructured. ArtVentures has SEBI disclosures at every step, accredited investor gating, and everything timestamped. I can run a professional syndicate without needing a lawyer on retainer.
We work with a select number of syndicate leads to maintain deal quality and investor experience. If you have strong deal sourcing capabilities or an established HNI network, we want to talk. The platform is live, the economics are in place, and your syndicate can be operational within days.
