We are excited to bring Blume’s aggregate brand value, networks, and knowledge base to help our Blume Founders Fund cohort, build, hire, collaborate, and scale. With 2020 continuing to fuel the rise of entrepreneurship, the new year is a great time to launch this Fund and partner more closely with new Indian founders starting up.”
