When we invest in ventures, we primarily consider three factors. The most crucial factor is betting on the right founding teams. We strongly believe that during the journey from zero to one, a venture undergoes many changes. However, there is no better indicator of success than a strong founding team with excellent execution skills. Another significant factor for us is investing in large growing markets. We consciously avoid highly competitive smaller markets. Finally, we assess the progress made in execution thus far and what do current customers say about the value creation being done by the business.

As an early-stage fund, we have a broad investment mandate, which means we don't limit ourselves to specific sectors. Instead, we evaluate opportunities across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer goods, and others.

However, while we don't have any particular sector bias, there are certain themes that we find especially compelling. These themes are: B2B SaaS, Enterprise tech, SME Digitization, Creator economy, Fintech infrastructure, AI-first businesses & Commerce enablers.

While we find these themes exciting, we also have certain areas that we tend to avoid. These negative themes include B2G (business-to-government), manufacturing, and technologies with high gestation periods like biotech. We don't have any particular bias against these sectors, but they don't fit our investment thesis, which is focused on finding innovative companies that can scale quickly and generate strong returns for our investors.

At our firm, we prioritize long-term thinking and seek out founders who share this approach. We look for entrepreneurs who are thesis-driven and have a clear vision for how they will create value over an extended period.

We believe that finding the right balance between growth and profitability is crucial from the outset. While we understand the importance of scaling quickly, we also recognize that sustainable growth is essential for long-term success.

Furthermore, we strongly believe that teamwork is critical to building a successful company. We look for founding teams with complementary skill sets and a collaborative mindset. Together, a team can achieve much more than any individual can accomplish alone.
We believe that by investing in companies that embody these principles, we can create significant value for all stakeholders.

At our firm, we understand that startups face numerous challenges as they work to establish themselves in the market. That's why we're committed to providing more than just financial support.
