Pre-seed · Gurugram, Haryana

We invest before it looks like a company.

No revenue, no team, no address — the stage where almost nobody will write you a cheque, and the stage where one changes everything. Up to ₹50 lakh on terms published on this website, an answer either way, and a free desk in our Gurugram office for whoever wants one.

Where we investUp to ₹50 lakh · 7–15%

What you get

Three things, and no ambiguity about any of them.

Capital

Seed money

Up to ₹50 lakh, for 7–15% depending on the cheque and how far along you are. Enough to stop thinking about rent and start thinking about the work.

Terms

Published, not negotiated

The whole band is on this website. You can work out roughly where you would land before you apply, and nobody gets a quieter, better deal for pushing harder in a room.

Office

Free, and entirely optional

A permanent seat in Gurugram for as long as you are with us — conference room, lounge, a coffee machine worth walking to. Use it or never visit; the deal is identical either way.

Cheque size Up to ₹50 lakh for 7–15%. Programme runs 3–6 months. Full terms.

What we back

Five sectors we actually understand.

We would rather be useful in a few places than vague everywhere. If you are building outside these, we are probably the wrong investor for you — and we will tell you quickly.

  • Developer tools

    The unglamorous layers everything else is built on: APIs, build systems, hosting, browser-native software — the things engineers reach for daily and complain about loudly.

  • Games and engines

    Studios building something structurally new rather than one more title, and the runtimes, live-service plumbing and creation tools behind them.

  • Creative software

    For people who make video, audio, images and writing — the production side of that work, and the distribution and payment rails that let them earn from it.

  • Applied AI

    Not the models themselves, but the products built on top of them — where the hard part is the workflow, the interface, and being right often enough to be trusted.

  • Commerce infrastructure

    Payments, storefronts, and the operational software that decides whether a small business survives its second year.

How it works

Four steps. No warm introduction required.

  1. 01

    Apply

    A short written application. No deck required, no warm introduction required. Tell us what you are building and why it should exist.

  2. 02

    We read it

    Every application is read by a person. You get an answer either way — a rejection you can act on beats silence.

  3. 03

    Conversation

    If it is a fit, we talk. This is us understanding your thinking, and you deciding whether we are useful to have around.

  4. 04

    Offer and go

    Terms, paperwork, money — and a key to the office if you want one. You start building with the meter running on nothing but your own ambition.

What we look for

Potential and the quality of the idea.

We are new. We have not made our first investment yet, which means we have no portfolio to impress you with and no pattern we are trying to repeat. We are reading applications on their merits.

In practice that means we care more about how clearly you have thought about the problem than about your CV, your school, or whether anyone has funded you before. A sharp idea explained plainly beats a polished deck around a vague one.

We also have a stated preference, and we would rather be upfront about it than pretend to be neutral: given two comparable companies, we will back the one whose success leaves things better than it found them. Not as a marketing line — as a tie-breaker we apply honestly when the decision is close.

More about us

One more thing

And there is an office, if you want it.

Nobody has to move cities to take our money, and the deal is identical either way. But we built the place, it is new, and it costs our founders nothing.

A permanent desk that stays yours rather than one you re-book every morning. A conference room for the days you need one, and a lounge for the days you would rather not be at a desk at all. A coffee machine worth walking to. Plus the hundred small things that make an office an office — the ones you only notice when they are missing.

Our floor · Gurugram

We have not funded anyone yet.

You could be the reason that changes. It takes about twenty minutes to write, and every application gets read by a person.
