What we look for

We invest in people first.

We back founders with the conviction to build category-defining businesses. We partner from Seed to Series A across technology and tech-enabled sectors — FinTech, HealthTech, DeepTech (AI, DefenceTech, Semiconductors, SpaceTech, Robotics), EV & Mobility and Cyber Security. Within those, these are the characteristics we typically look for:

01

The founders we back

Passionate founders with strong execution, relevant domain expertise, and a clear vision for building impactful businesses — with the honesty to change course when the evidence says so.

02

Traction & validation

Startups that have moved beyond the idea stage and shown meaningful progress — through customer adoption, revenue, pilots, partnerships, or user growth.

03

A scalable business model

Scalable, repeatable models that can expand across markets and segments, grow beyond founder-led execution, and create long-term value through technology or operational leverage.

04

Market opportunity

Large, underserved markets with the potential to support sustainable, category-defining businesses.

These criteria reflect our general framework, not a rigid checklist. Ultimately, we back people — strong conviction in a founder, a market, or a business's transformative potential can outweigh any single criterion.

Beyond the cheque

We help with the things that actually move a company.

You want more than capital — strategic guidance, industry expertise, and the market access to accelerate growth? We're built by operators: once we invest, we work alongside you, not just from the boardroom.

01

Go-to-market

Practical help designing your go-to-market — for your home market and for cross-border expansion.

02

Cross-border entry

India, Singapore and Southeast Asia: introductions, partners, and customer access across the corridor.

03

Fundraising preparation

Help shaping the narrative, data room, and positioning needed for Series A and institutional rounds.

04

Hiring & senior talent

Access to our network of operators and domain experts for key hires, advisors, and board members.

05

Customer & partner introductions

Warm introductions to customers, partners, and co-investors across our 500-strong community.

06

Governance & board support

Help building institutional-grade foundations early, with engaged, transparent board support.
