Having been operators managing large businesses, entreprenuerial ventures and startups ourselves, we have a first hand understanding of what founders need. We work hand in hand with our portfolio companies helping them build strategies for the long term. We provide support in Go-To Market strategy, refining the revenue model as per market trends, product feature prioritisation amongst others.

Our team is deeply entrenched in the venture ecosystem for over two decades. The passion for frontier new age technologies unites us and has enabled us to be a core member of the various private and public institutions in the country working towards mainstream access to such advanced technologies. This access coupled with our experience of speaking to over 2000 founders in a year, gives us the ability to derive key insights about the trends in the market, what’s working and why. More importantly, it helps us identify, what are common pitfalls to avoid. We share these with our portfolio founders to support their overall decision making.

Early stage startups often need the first push to prove their technology works. Then the product led growth kicks in. Our leadership team’s strong and diversified network unlocks these opportunities for our portfolio founders. Many of our companies have had meaningful conversations with key decision makers who have often converted in POC/ paid clients. 

We truly believe that the key founding team is the essence of the business at the pre-seed to pre-series A stages. Since the highest risk in the business it in its early stages, it is critical to have the right members by your side building for the future. Thus we work closely with the founders to help in making this essential decision by providing guidance, support in interviews and reference checks.

The team has built a diverse gallery of tools and vendor partnerships which our portfolio companies can take benefit of. These include key subscriptions to cloud credits and productivity tools. Additionally, we have designated vendor partners for compliance, legal functions, financial management, IP filings and software teams which we can connect the founders with.

Despite our best attempts, there are some cases where the founders have internal conflicts with the management team at their company. When we come on-board we build tight relationships with each member of the team. This trust is built over years of hard work. Our years of experience managing firms, has enabled us to handle internal conflicts well through open conversations to ensure the streamlined business operations.

We understand that deeptech businesses have long gestation periods and need patient capital. We wish to be a part of the founders journey from 0 to 1 and intend to support them through multiple rounds of investments. Thus we have allocated over 50% of the fund to follow on investments.
