We primarily partner with companies at the Series A and Series B stage. However, if you would like to speak with us at an earlier stage in your journey, we are open to that so feel free to reach out.
At Asha Ventures we are driven by our vision to help create a more inclusive and sustainable world. So if you believe you are solving a problem that helps power such a future, please reach out.
We invest in the USD 2-10 mn range.
We are passionate about working with founders who use technology to challenge the status quo when it comes to sticky problems for India’s emerging middle class. If this resonates with your own vision, we promise to ride the thick and thin with you as partners, offering our time, institutional intellect and networks every step of the way.
The ability to generate measurable impact is a key part of our investment evaluation. We use global industry best practices for this, including the IMP Project framework and GIIN Iris metrics. We help you understand these and work with you to create internal KPIs for measuring parameters that capture both depth and width of impact created. We also couple this with primary interactions with key stakeholders of the business to understand additionality from their perspective.
Yes, absolutely. We are led by our own conviction, and work with you to help lead round constructions.
The biggest market opportunities in India come from hard problem statements. We’d love to understand your unique insights into the problem you’re looking to solve and how you’re using technology to build a long term moat. Being able to see the disproportionate advantage that the team and product has, is critical to our decision making.
We believe in playing a meaningful role in the long journey of company building. Thus, Board positions are part of our standard investment terms.
Yes we do, the best partnerships run deep!
We follow a two stage approval process with our Investment Committee. We run the process transparently and keep you informed at critical steps along the way, and try to align with the overall fundraise plans you may have.
