Sprout Venture Partners is an early-stage venture capital fund looking to back next generation entrepreneurs

ABOUT US


Sprout Venture Partners is a SEBI registered Alternative Investment fund backed by prominent first and second generation entrepreneurs.

We are looking to partner with visionary entrepreneurs building scalable businesses by solving problems in large markets through innovative products and services. By providing early-stage funding, strategic support, and access to a broad network, we help these companies accelerate their growth to achieve transformative success.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY


Our strategy is to invest in companies with these broad themes.

Companies addressing a demand gap in consumption of products or services aiming to capture the growth potential driven by India’s consumption opportunity.

Companies addressing a need gap through use of technology with emphasis on Innovation, Product development, IP/Brand creation and disruptive technologies.

We primarily invest at seed stage and are usually the first institutional investors in a company. Our first investment cheque is about US$500k, with participation in follow-on rounds to support the portfolio through their early life cycle.
