Backing the next 100X.

We're an early-stage venture fund based in India, writing the first cheques into pre-seed and seed founders building category-defining companies.

We've been on your side of the table.

Our team is made up of ex- and current founders and operators. We've built things, broken things, raised, hired, fired, shipped, and pivoted. So when we sit down with you, we ask the questions we wish someone had asked us.

We care about how you think, what's keeping you up, and what you'd do if no one was watching. At this stage we don't optimize for polish, we optimize for conviction.

What we believe

It's never too early.

A paper plan, a Figma mockup, or a working product with paying users. All are signals worth listening to. The day you decide to go all-in, we're ready to take the plunge with you.

Capital is the easy part.

Money in the bank doesn't solve product, pricing, hiring, or the 47 other problems waiting next quarter. So we built a fund where the network is the product.

Founder-friendly is the only friendly.

Convertible notes. Less than a week from yes to wire. Simple terms anyone can read in a sitting. No drama, no traps.

India can build for the world.

We're proudly India-first, and we believe Indian founders can and should build companies that compete globally from day one.
