Investment Thesis
Our Philosophy
We believe that entrepreneurs possess a unique potential to bring about a positive change, not only for their ventures but also for the ecosystem as a whole. Our belief is simple- growth is more than just scaling businesses- it is about building a sustainable and profound impact that has the potential to reshape the ways of the ecosystem. Teaming up with the founders, we live up to our philosophy of ‘Ascending Together.’
Investment Thesis
Our stage preferences are strategically positioned at the intersection of product adoption and growth cycles. Our investment approach is tailored to identifying startups that are:
- Entering the growth phase, having validated their products with early adopters, now poised for wider market acceptance.
- Transitioning into the maturity phase, where they capture the attention of the majority
Early stage: This stage typically includes seed or Series A rounds, where companies have achieved product-market fit and seek capital to start or scale operations and expand their market presence.
Exit: < 5 Years
Pre-IPO: In this stage, companies are often preparing for an initial public offering (IPO). They have a strong market presence, stable revenue, and mature operations.
Exit: ~ 2 Years
