The first investment will be up to ₹10 crore in seed rounds and ₹20-30 crore in Series B rounds.
Ashish Taneja, Founder and CEO at growX ventures said, “The firm missed out on fully backing its winners, largely because it maintained a seed-stage mindset. Series B is truly the inflection point for B2B deeptech companies. This is where you can say there's product-market fit. The company has reached a stage where the technology and team are in place, there are signs of early customer adoption, and potential use cases are emerging from what has been built. This is where compounding happens,”
He also emphasized the importance of staying invested and building a portfolio of new ventures at that stage.
