Now the swashbuckler Yuvraj Singh is a venture capitalist too

The latest person to take interest in IT- startups is World Cup winning cricket star Yuvraj Singh.

So if you have a brilliant idea for an online start-up, you can now get Singh to back you with all the he has — his brand, marketing, technology and yes, even money.

"Yuvraj will endorse your business idea and give you the kick-start you need," says the cricketer's new venture fund that aims to support entrepreneurs by investing in startups across sectors.

Bitten by the e-commerce bug, Yuvraj has launched a start-up fund — YouWeCan Ventures, which plans on investing Rs 40-50 crore in online start-ups in the healthcare, travel, hospitality, real estate and media sectors over the next three-five years.

The fund will work as an angel investor by providing the initial seed fund to kick-start an idea and once there is proof of the concept, it will help connect you to other investors as well.

"I'm getting a bit mature in my old age, just want to start up a few business opportunities. The online world is quite big and want to invest in some future ventures, some business opportunities and helping young guns, entrepreneur s to expand the business and make India a better place," Singh said.
