You + us = awesome.
We focus on early-stage tech-driven startups in both B2B and B2C sectors. We have a bias towards startups leveraging technology to solve real-world challenges, boosting productivity of middle and aspiring income cohorts, and unlock innovation across industries in India and emerging markets.
Beyond capital, we offer strategic insights, hands-on operational support, and access to a broad network of industry connections. Our team of operator-investors works closely with founders to navigate challenges, scale effectively, and capitalize on growth opportunities.
We take our role as enablers and champions to our founders very seriously!
Our investment process starts with understanding your vision and the problem being solving. Our team is across the world (we have teams in New York, Bay area, Bangalore and Delhi) - we will try our best to ensure we all meet you ( as the founder), followed by a meeting with your leadership team. We also like to spend time doing a deep review of your technology, market potential, and growth plan.
All SamVed investments go through the IC process. Once approved in the IC, we will confirm our investment. Typically this process could take 2-3 weeks.
At SamVed, we can lead or co-invest with other lead investors. Our decision to invest comes only if we have spent enough time with the fouders to understand their business, and we believe we could bring value to the business.
Value creation is mandatory on both sides!
At SamVed, we bring deep domain expertise as experienced operators, not just investors. We work side by side with founders, leveraging our knowledge, connections, and hands-on approach to ensure startups have what they need to succeed.
Our focus on AI-driven innovation and commitment to shaping the future of India's economy also set us apart.
As a founder you should talk to our portfolio for reference!
We invest in Education, Upskilling, Healthcare, Agritech, Supply Chain Optimization, and Credit/Fintech. We are also open to startups tackling large intractable problems with the potential to impact the broader Indian economy through technological innovation.
Most importantly, we like to invest in ambitious founders.
We take an active role in supporting our portfolio companies, providing mentorship, strategic guidance, and connections to help scale the business. Our involvement includes advising on product development, market entry, hiring key talent, and facilitating partnerships.
If you're interested in partnering with us, you can start by submitting your pitch through ourwebsite. We review every submission carefully and will reach out to promising startups for further discussion. We value bold ideas and innovative thinking, so we encourage founders to share how they’re solving critical challenges.
