The firm invests in Seed to Series A rounds in technology and tech-enabled companies. The firm doesn't try to see every deal or write the most cheques. Over the past decade the firm has evaluated around 14,000 companies and invested in 36. A polished deck rarely convinces the firm. What does is a real problem worth years of someone's life, early signs that customers care, and, more than anything, the team trying to solve it. More than anything else, the firm backs people. The firm focuses on the India-Southeast Asia corridor because it is where it can be most useful, not because it is in fashion. Once the firm invests, it stays close. It helps with go-to-market, hiring, introductions to customers and partners, and entering new markets across the region. Early-stage investing rewards patience and tends to punish hype. The firm thinks about how an investment might eventually return money before it makes it.
