Thursday February 18, 2010 , 4 min Read
Its official, Morpheus Venture Partners is no more. RIP. After two years of successful operations MVP has consciously ignited itself to ashes, like a Phoenix*. Only to emerge in a new avatar – The Morpheus (www.themorpheus.com). You can follow us on twitter @fom_morpheus.
Why the rechristening ? Besides in-keeping with trend of renaming, versioning – we think – Morpheus reflects the new role we have taken on. So, welcome Version 2.0 – The Morpheus!
The Morpheus:
In its new avatar, Morpheus will invest 5 Lakh INR (10,000 USD) in portfolio companies starting Batch 4 of its Business Acceleration Program (BAP). We have raised a small fund to help start-ups monetarily giving them the impetus over and above our real mentoring value.
Our LPs are a group of young, bright professionals who have placed trust in Morpheus, understand the start-up landscape & above all, believe in YOU – the Indian Start-up Founder! Special thanks to all our LPs for laying trust in us and believing in Morpheus.
Open for applications:
We are accepting applications for Batch 4 of the Business Acceleration Program (BAP) that starts last week of March. Last date for receiving applications is March 10, 2010.

Morpheus – continues to stand by you:
In the last two years, we have had an absolutely great time working with the 40+ founders of our 20 portfolio companies. They are working hard innovating and continuously creating value. Thanks to them, that our belief in the Indian start-up opportunity is growing stronger by the day!
Morpheus continues to believe that India has some of the most gifted, smart, hardworking young entrepreneurs amongst us. And India itself is a land of overflowing opportunity with a large domestic market; infrastructure & support system that takes to build global products. So we continue to lay our trust in the Young Indian Entrepreneur.
No, Not VC’s but entrepreneurs like other fellow-folks!
Though we are investing a small amount of money to facilitate start-ups; Morpheus’ core competency will continue to be the value we bring through our Business Acceleration Program (BAP), as a business accelerator and advisory firm. The 4 month intensive engagement to help the start-up team accelerate their business; the community value that is gained by extensive interactions amongst Morpheus Portfolio Founders (The Gang) are our primary value.
As an entrepreneur / start-up, if you are looking ONLY for funding – we are not the right people to talk to. If you are ready to accelerate, go from 40 miles per hr to 100 miles per hr– We’d like to talk to you. Drop us a line: neoATmorpheusventureDOTcom

Morpheus’ main mission is to work with young ambitious teams & together create enterprise value, jobs, social impact, and thus script the new Indian economy. And create wealth for all associated along the way!
Finally, closing with a quote that’s relevant to us all:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
