Early capital, with the patience it requires

Angel
Investing

Early capital into founders we believe in, with the patience early capital genuinely requires. We invest our own money, which means we can hold a position for as long as the business needs rather than as long as a fund's life allows.

How we choose

We are a small and deliberate investor. We look at businesses we can understand — usually in trade, manufacturing, services or consumer, and usually with some connection to Tamil Nadu. If we cannot explain what a company does to someone in this office, we do not invest in it.

What we are not

We are not a venture fund. We do not run a portfolio strategy, we do not need to deploy by a deadline, and we will not push a company towards an exit that suits our timetable rather than theirs.

What to bring

  • Pitch deck
  • Financials to date and projections
  • Cap table
  • Founder backgrounds

Common questions

Do you lead rounds?

[State your position on leading versus following.]

Do you take a board seat?

Case by case. We would rather be useful than formal.
