Volt VC Trust is a Category II Alternative Investment Fund managed by Volt VC Private Limited, a Ahmedabad-based micro venture capital firm founded by Param Patel. Volt VC is India's first micro VC fund from Gujarat, focused exclusively on pre-seed stage investments in high-margin, fast-growing consumer-centric startups across D2C, B2C, and B2B2C business models. The firm's inaugural fund — Volt VC Fund 1, a scheme of Volt VC Trust — targets a corpus of ₹45 crore and plans to invest ₹50 lakh to ₹2 crore (up to USD 250,000) in approximately 20–25 startups at the pre-seed stage. Beyond capital, Volt VC provides strategic guidance, market research, product development support, branding, fundraising strategy, and access to a broad expert network. The fund is sector-agnostic but has a strong focus on consumer innovation, and is designed to bridge the gap in early-stage funding in Gujarat and across India.
