Investment approach
- Thesis
- Sector-agnostic approach, enabling us to explore a wide range of opportunities while maintaining a strong commitment to socially fit sectors. $100k - $1M checks. We want to be your first commitment. We don’t believe in sharp elbows and invest alongside other investors. We also reserve capital to follow-on as you scale. Driven by a rich heritage of business success, crafted by next generations of visionary leaders. We have done it before and can help at every step of the way. We back companies globally, whether they have Indian founders or are active in the Indian market. We usually don’t lead deals, we generally co-invest. We are 100% aligned with founders and can always provide 100% unbiased advice. We want to become your most trusted operating partner. We acknowledge that fundraising is hard. We try to make it easier for founders by moving to a decision really fast.Source (opens in a new tab)
