Investment Philosophy

The risk and rewards of startup investments are well known. The best way to mitigating the risk level is by careful selection of startups investment. Our team does a detailed analysis of the proposals we receive before presenting it to the members for their interest.  We invest in startups that have a product that solves a real problem.

We do not invest in an idea alone and strongly believe that the team behind is more important. We work with the startup founders to ensure that the startup is able to scale to the next level. Our typical investments are between Rs 50 lacs to Rs 150 lacs and the startup that we select would already be having a marketable product looking at scaling.
