Launch of the 4U Fund I
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the 4U Fund I, a ₹200 crore SEBI-registered venture capital fund. With this fund, we aim to partner with founders at the very beginning of their journeys, helping them go from Spark to Scale.
For us, this fund is the culmination of a journey that began almost a decade ago. From making our first angel bets to building a family office, to launching an Angel Fund in 2020, every step has been about deepening our conviction in founders and learning how to be better partners. The 4U Fund is the next chapter, one that brings together our operating experience, track record, and belief in India-first companies building for the world.
Why Founders Choose 4U
We have lived the founder’s journey, building teams, scaling companies, raising capital, and facing the tough days when conviction is tested. That is why we focus not only on providing capital, but on being present when it matters most. We move with speed, back with empathy, and stay invested with conviction.
Our Approach
We are an early-stage fund, writing first cheques of ₹5–6 crore at the pre-seed and seed stage, with reserves for follow-on capital. We focus on high-impact sectors like AI, SaaS and Enterprise Tech, Consumer Tech, Frontier Tech, and Bharat-focused opportunities.
But beyond sectors and numbers, what matters most to us is the founder. Integrity, clarity, speed of execution, and the ability to focus on solving a real problem are qualities we prize above all.
Voices from the Team
Our partner Amit said:
“The 4U Fund is about conviction. Founders do not need another passive investor. They need partners who can take a bet when the story is just beginning and stand by them through the scale journey. That is the spirit we are bringing to this fund.”
Ravi added:
“Having been operators ourselves, we know how lonely and difficult the founder journey can be. What excites me about 4U is that we can give more than just capital — we can give clarity, speed, and practical support rooted in real experience.”
Bhavik shared:
“India is producing a generation of entrepreneurs who are not only solving local problems but building globally relevant companies. With 4U, we want to back those ambitious founders early, when their spark is just beginning to catch fire.”
Looking Ahead
The 4U Fund is not just an investment vehicle. It is our way of betting on the future we believe in, a future built by visionary founders solving big problems with technology.
If you are building something bold, something the world may not yet see but you deeply believe in, we would love to meet you.
