From Seed to Series A
We can invest up to ₹15 Cr (~$2 M) in our first investment and maintain meaningful reserves to follow on in subsequent rounds.
We partner with seed to series A ventures across technology sectors with a bias for capital efficient businesses. Within the meta themes of digital consumption enablers and Applied AI, we focus on B2C/B2B commerce, Entertainment, Fintech, Health, Consumer AI and Enterprise AI
We are happy to lead or to co-invest with our peer firms in the ecosystem.
Yes! We love building for Bharat and building from Bharat for the world. We invest in companies registered in India and overseas who have the same mission.
We are the most high-energy, hands-on, and resourceful peers you can have on your team. As a team, we have experience across the board and we actively nurture our founder mindset. No problem is too big or too small for us to tackle together with you. So, we will bring our expertise, our resources, our operator and founder networks, and our capital to your disposal. We can help you with your GTM strategy, org building, brand building, governance and reporting, capital raising, culture building, story building, effective hiring, goal setting, networking, and customer engagement. No one else in this business sets out looking for friends as we do!
We are looking for founders who are playing the long game with a purpose, with fire in their belly to rough out the ride. Founders who can visualise the big picture to dream big and focus on the details to get there. Innovative and gritty. Informed and resourceful. Nimble and resilient. Decisive, yet open to ideas. We are not looking for past experience in the same domain or where you graduated from -- we are looking for the purpose with which you are starting. We are looking for the hustle to take your team and yourself forward, even when there are still many non-believers in your idea. We also believe each of these skills can be sharpened and we'll work on them together when you partner with us.
As your peers, we aim to be speedy, respectful, and responsive in our investment process. In general, we follow these steps:
Initial meeting: We let the founding team introduce themselves and the business, determine a baseline thesis fit, and check for any conflicts with existing partner companies.
Second and third meetings: We dig into the specifics of the business and bring any questions that we may have. These meetings are also an opportunity for you to learn more about partnering with us and how we can help you build.
Follow-up: After diving into the information you provide and making some reference calls, we will ensure all our critical questions have been answered.
IC meeting: We will introduce you to any team members you haven't met, and you will get to pitch to our entire team. After the meeting, our team will discuss internally in great detail and arrive to a final decision in 24-48 hours.
Final decision: If our decision is a yes, we will send a term sheet (congratulations!). After the term sheet, we close out the due dilligence processes and transfer the money within a few weeks. Even if we decide not to partner with you at the time, we will introduce you to our peers in the investing ecosystem.
We look for compelling solutions to problems that matter and delighted early customers indicating a strong fit. We attribute equal importance to the founders' knowledge of the market, its future, and their right to win.
We will likely join your board but our contribution will not be restricted to board meetings only. We will be down in the trenches with you, building together as peers. We are open to taking a board seat initially and passing it on to other investors in later rounds.
You can fill this form, send us an email at info@peercapital.in, or drop by our office in Bengaluru to say hi!
We strongly believe in treating founding teams with the respect one extends to their peers and hence, we aim to be responsive and quick. You can expect to hear back from us within 2-3 days!
