From Builders to Backers
Bringing real experience to every journey
Our Philosophy
Founder-First, Always
We’ve lived the founder journey ourselves, which is why we back with empathy, speed, and conviction.
Sharp Focus, Flexible Thinking
We stay razor-focused on what matters, the problem, the people, the potential, but stay open on the how.
Early Means Early
We love backing at the pre-seed and seed stages, when the idea is raw, but the intent is real.
Real Help, Not Just Capital
From hiring to product strategy to future fundraising, we roll up our sleeves when it counts.
Local Roots, Global Ambition
We invest in India-first companies solving globally relevant problems, and help them scale to meet that ambition.
Independent, Not Isolated
We make independent decisions, but value deep alignment with founders and co-investors.
How We Got Here
2015
We began backing startups in a personal capacity. One of our very first bets is now preparing for an IPO, while another has grown more than 45X in valuation. These experiences strengthened our conviction and inspired us to dive deeper, eventually evolving into a family office.
2017
We launched PitchRight Ventures as a family office to back early-stage companies with deeper involvement. Over 40% of our portfolio rounds were led or co-led by us. Out of 9 investments, 3 delivered multi-fold exits, generating a top-quartile IRR.
2020
In the middle of the lockdown, we secured our SEBI license and launched the PitchRight Ventures Angel Fund. We led multiple seed rounds. We achieved our first exit through an M&A transaction in a short span. Several companies have since raised Series B and beyond.
2025
We launched 4U Fund, a ₹200 crore SEBI-registered VC fund. From Spark to Scale, we back conviction early, help build momentum, and stay invested through the journey. With operator insight and a track record of results, we aim to be a true partner from day one.
