Definitely a good fund. They’ve been very good at consumer apps investments. I am not sure about the value add for GenAI, since they would be early, but that’s pretty much true for all funds  
  
 Has your friend pitched to all top funds?

Do founder prefer them as the 1st choice?

GPs of IQ have a very good reputation. Other team members not much.

Private Equity

Broadly their consideration should be : 
 A. Strength of saas practice (helps with hiring, customer connect, strategic thinking) : Not strong there, they are good at consumer 
 B. Ability to make follow on rounds happen : ok ok there 
 C. Vibe with the partner and fund : Evaluate for self

Founder

Good financial performance

What stops you from *stealing* an idea that you found mind-blowing from a pitch of a startup trying to get a seed funding?

Hi! 
Trying to understand the role of marketers in a VC. Trying to make a transition from startup into the vc game; other than employee branding and marketing, how closely do the marketers get to work with portfolio companies; if at all. What else do they do?

Just read through the document. Gotta say, it’s such rich and helpful details:

- Helps you understand how VC fund returns work over a 10 year period
- How their startups in different sectors differed in returns (enterprise software did much better than consumer and B2B)
- How Tier 1 founder startups ended up doing much better than non Tier 1 founder startups (unfortunate data, I would hope this is a bias from that period) 
- They seem to have had 16/17% YoY returns while India Quotient has higher (20-23%ish) 

But overall, just gotta commend them for taking the effort and making this data public. It’s very helpful!

Most founder friendly fund in India?

I'll start - One of the older VC firms with an office in Indiranagar (also probably planning to shut their scout vehicle fund after a few employee exits) reels of toxicity at the helm. GP who comes from a rich family has the habit of arm twisting employees and putting them down even on the smallest of the mistakes. What's your toxic VC story?

It announced fundrise from peakXV (previously Sequoia).

From what I can deduce, they diluted a bit too much. But, I hope that the founding team makes a good one from this!

Cheers Michael bhai!

Starting an India centric podcast focused on venture capital. Personally based in SF but keep hearing a lot of chatter about India VCs here so interested to unpack it. Who are the top firms and investment partners in the market?

Top VCs in India?

Such a society we live in wheee people are given preferences on their job and titles( company name and college name) etc  ) and in the start up space this is too much.  So founders assume someone from a different experience can’t do the job based on what ? If someone wasn’t given an opportunity for once how can a decision be made ?  They only want fell top schools top companies. Look at the US and learn , seen people with diverse backgrounds been given an opportunity in fields of unknown knowledge and they have been able to achieve and do well. But these start ups here only care for branded names , but boast about diversity etc and anyone with passion please reach out to us if want to shape the future of India) bs) and when you reach out they don’t care to reply .  You are just starting and you can atleast reply . Start ups okay with paying some analyst with good package but can’t pay some one else who ants to work and learn for a lower package .

Which VC fund is the worst in India?

Going to invest in a flat through fractional ownership route. (IRR -18%-25%)

Sebi also approved the regulation for it after reits.

Any last minute ip or suggestions?

PS - I don't want to buy a flat in metro and live in any metro for next 30-40y of my life.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to understand more about the VC ecosystem and their investment thesis for Indian Landscape. Have watched a few episodes of "Desi VC Podcast". Would be great if anyone can recommend what all episodes can be watched to get a good understanding of the same.
Or would love to hear other recommendations as well.

Thank you!
