Our investment philosophy

🎯

We bet on people, not just ideas

Great founders can pivot, adapt, and overcome. We look for entrepreneurs with vision, resilience, and the ability to execute. Your idea might change, but your determination won't.

🚀

We're contrarian by nature

The best opportunities are often where others aren't looking. We invest in sectors and geographies that others overlook, finding hidden gems before they become obvious.

🤝

We're partners, not just investors

We roll up our sleeves and work alongside you. From product strategy to hiring, from go-to-market to fundraising—we're there when you need us, not just at board meetings.

🌍

Global perspective, local execution

With deep roots in both US and Indian markets, we understand the nuances of scaling across geographies. We help you navigate regulatory landscapes, cultural differences, and market dynamics.

Technology-first approach

We invest in companies that leverage technology to solve real problems. From AI-powered healthcare to fintech innovations, we back founders building the infrastructure of tomorrow.

2

What do we look for in an idea?

We look for compelling and contrarian insight into how the world works. What do you understand about a market or a need that no one else does?

3

Do we only invest in specific industries?

No. We don't think VCs predict the future — founders do. Our investments tend to cluster around consumer, fintech, healthcare, AI tech, real estate, and defense.

We're partners, not just investors. From product strategy to hiring, from go-to-market to fundraising — we're there when you need us, not just at board meetings.
