Our vision

“A venture ecosystem in which wealth compounds towards goodness, and each act of goodness snowballs into the next.”

Our mission

We back Indian-origin founders at the very start, in India or the US, and help them build for North American markets.

We measure ourselves by the returns we earn for investors and by what our founders go on to do for others. One right person, backed at the right moment, sets an example that others follow.

Our values

What we back

Two kinds of companies: vertical AI that takes on real work in labour-heavy industries, and the companies removing what holds AI adoption back.

Theme 1

Vertical AI in markets facing labour displacement

Software that does real work inside specialised industries, where buyers already pay for that work through salaries, outsourcing or services firms.

  • Large labour spend
  • Hard-to-serve markets
  • A durable advantage

Theme 2

Removing the constraints on AI adoption

AI can already do far more work than it is trusted with today. We back the companies that clear the bottlenecks around the model.

  • Compute and energy
  • Data and integration
  • Trust
  • The physical world

Our values are ranked

When two conflict, the higher one wins. Each names what we are willing to give up to keep it.

  1. Integrity
  2. Goodness that snowballs
  3. Excellence
  4. Consistency
  5. Empathy and curiosity

Why we win

Our advantage is access. A community of founders and operators invests in the fund and helps us find, select and support founders earlier than others can.

Founders investing in founders

Our LPs are successful founders and investors in the US and India. They help source, assess and back our companies.

Both sides of the corridor

Enterprise buyers in the US. The founders the next generation is leaving to start their own in India.

The earliest check

We aim to be the first institutional money in, often before founders move to North America.
