Pre-seed & seed venture fund · IndiaWe back exceptional pre-seed and seed founders from India with capital, conviction, and a network of ex- and current founders and operators who've been there before.
We sit on the same side of the table as you, operationally, emotionally, and financially. Here's what that looks like.
$20K to $250K on a simple, founder-friendly convertible note. Less than a week from the day we say “yes” to money in your bank account, so you can get back to building.
We typically form a private WhatsApp group with the venture partners who invested in you, our team, and your founding team. Ping us anytime for product, legal, tech, marketing, or fundraising. Usually we have the answer, or know someone who's solved exactly what you're facing.
Access credits across 50+ products and services like AWS, Freshworks, Notion, Zoho, PR agencies, laptop rentals, and more. When you're ready, we connect and prep you for meetings with VCs in India and abroad to lead your first institutional round.
You could be at a paper-plan stage. You may have an MVP built. You might already have a functional product with paying customers or active users. We've even helped founders scope out ideas and pick the problem they want to solve.
Essentially, the day you decide to go all-in on your startup, we're ready to hold your hand and take the plunge with you.
High conviction. Deep engagement on every cheque.
We think in decades, not quarters.
Frugal founders who compound durable advantages without burning the runway. We'd rather back a team that stretches a dollar than one that needs ten to prove the same point.
Obsessed with the problem, not the round. The day you go all-in, we're ready to take the plunge with you — paper plan, MVP, or paying customers.
Quick decisions. Clear answers. No delays.
Operators, customers, and capital when you need it.
