Backing mission-driven entrepreneurs in India since 2008
Early-stage & tech-first startups
Inventus to Athera
At our inception as Inventus India in 2008, the backdrop was nascent - Internet penetration was <5% and the early adopters were just beginning to consume offerings from consumer Internet/enterprise software startups. 90%+ of the funds deployed in India VC were from the US / overseas.
Cut to today, the ecosystem is well past the inflexion point with the number of Unicorns having crossed 100. Indian entrepreneurs, family offices and some institutions are keen to partake in the widespread growth in private markets. All in all, an ideal environment to evolve into an India-centric VC firm.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Empathy
Founder-friendly VCs who walk the (frequently) lonely, wobbly path with our entrepreneurs.
Back Sustainable Businesses
That thrive even post our association.
Delayed Gratification
Our DNA and a value we share with our entrepreneurs.
Objectivity
Transparent, unbiased interactions with our entrepreneurs.
Thank you to Prime Minister @narendramodi & the government for helping open up space to the private sector in the country. With the launch of ... Shakuntala (India’s first ever private commercial satellite in space) in April and now the Anand launch with @isro, Pixxel is taking off. https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1596471349857247232
The launch of 3 satellites from Indian companies @PixxelSpace and @DhruvaSpace heralds the beginning of a new era, where Indian talent in space technology can be fully realized. Congratulations to all the companies and everyone involved in this launch.
We are ecstatic because...
@ForbesIndia is telling the world - that Euler Motors is one of the best tech companies in the Indian #EV space!
This is ... what we strive for - to lead the segment with unique innovation, and ingenuity, and make the world a better place to live in.
