The firm had its first close in September 2024, raising ₹146 crore from several investors. After this first close, it can begin making investments and draw capital from the committed fund.

Since then, VentureSoul’s SEBI-registered Category II AIF has invested in about 15 startups, including Playshifu, Zolostays, Metro Telworks, Metalbook, Captain Fresh, Mozark, and True Credits.

The fund aims to write average cheques of ₹20–25 crore and is sector-agnostic, focusing on fintech, B2C, B2B, and SaaS companies.

VentureSoul Partners was founded in June 2024 by three former HSBC bankers—Anurag Tripathi, Ashish Gala, and Kunal Wadhwa. With experience building businesses for domestic and international organizations, they started VentureSoul to create a value-driven enterprise.
