SeaFund

The firm invests in early-stage companies, preferably with some semblance of a product market fit at the intersection of network effects, technology and innovative business models by leveraging platforms, protocols, and the power of modularity. The firm believes returning founders who have learned the rules of the startup game in their first stint are able to crash timelines to scale businesses. Further, if you have discovered a non obvious market opportunity where you have a unique advantage, then you have a defensible lead. One of the things the firm is looking for is solutions that give people back the most precious thing they have in their lives, which is their time. The firm values an India for India play, which can then subsequently be scaled to, first, similar markets and subsequently globally. At the stage that the firm comes in, founders don't need investors who are well versed with financial engineering, they need help from folks who have operated businesses and the firm's team brings that in spades. The firm works with the founders to provide comprehensive support, including strategy building, market insights, first few customer access, key management hiring, tools and partner support, founder conversations and follow on funding.
