Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), a premier early-stage angel investing platform, has unveiled a new initiative to help investors obtain Angel Investor accreditation at no cost, following the guidelines set by SEBI. This move is aimed at simplifying the accreditation process and ensuring timely compliance for investors.
As per SEBI regulations, individuals seeking to invest in startups must now be accredited by a recognised agency such as NSDL or CVL. The regulator has mandated that all investors complete the accreditation process by 7th September 2026. Successful applicants receive an Angel Investor Accreditation Certificate, valid for either two or three years, depending on their chosen tenure.
With fewer than 1,500 investors currently accredited through CVL, SEBI’s new rules are likely to narrow the eligible investor base further. IPV’s program addresses this challenge by providing members with guidance and support throughout the accreditation process, ensuring minimal disruption to the early-stage investment ecosystem.
IPV offers end-to-end assistance for its members, covering eligibility checks, document verification, application submission, and coordination with SEBI-recognised accreditation agencies. Investors who join IPV can complete this process without paying additional fees, provided they meet the regulatory requirements.
Vinay Bansal, Founder of IPV, commented,
“The introduction of investor accreditation by SEBI is a major regulatory development for the early-stage investment ecosystem. This might bring in certain new considerations for investors and startups alike, but essentially, with one of the largest angel investing platforms in the country, we see it as our responsibility to support the intent of the regulation and help move our investor community through this transition smoothly.”
This initiative aims to maintain continuity for long-term investors while aligning with SEBI’s evolving regulations. IPV members can seek support from their Relationship Managers, and further information is available on IPV’s official website and verified channels.
