Vidit Aatrey

Cofounder at Meesho

"Venture Highway has been one of Meesho's biggest cheerleaders. Their strategic inputs, proactive involvement and networking support have been crucial to our growth. If you are an early-stage founder looking for a friend, philosopher and guide, an opportunity to work with Venture Highway can have a material impact on outcomes."

Rahul Garg

Founder at Moglix

"Working with Venture Highway has been a great experience for us. Venture Highway was one of the few first investors in Moglix that led to an extra special connection with the team. Their team has consistently been one of our most prominent supporters, investing right up to our latest round. Their mentorship has set them apart as trusted ally on our entrepreneurial journey. If you're an early-stage founder seeking a true partner in success, I can't recommend Venture Highway highly enough."

Sambhav Jain

Cofounder at Fampay

"VH has been one of our earliest backers and believers, and have been with us in our journey from almost day one. They are extremely founders first, and have crucially helped us in the 0-1 phase with business strategy, hiring, networking and many more things. As young entrepreneurs just out of college, they are the kind of partners first time founders need."

Alok Goel

Cofounder at Drive Train

"Venture Highway has been a valuable partner to Drivetrain since our early days. They have provided us with strategic guidance on both product and GTM side and their network and relationships have helped us to open many doors. We are grateful for Venture Highway's support and we would highly recommend them to early-stage founders."

What is your investment philosophy?

We are passionate about empowering the next generation of Indian entrepreneurs. We seek founders who want to disrupt traditional industries or create new markets through technology. We partner with mission-driven teams who are attempting to create category leading companies. Our focus is exclusively on seed-stage investments.

What stages of companies do you partner with?

We prefer to be the first institutional partners for your company in its early days. Paper plan, pre-product or early monetization are all stages of companies we have invested in.

What is your due diligence process?

Our due diligence is focused on answering three questions:

What is the significant unmet need of the users that you are addressing?
What is your solution that is superior to existing offerings?
What makes you the best team to deliver this offering, to this target market?

We understand that you may not have all the answers at the time of speaking with us. We are happy to collaborate with you in the process of discovering them.

What is the timeline for funding decisions?

We approach our investment decisions with utmost transparency, intellectual honesty and speed. We have completed end-to-end diligence in less than a week for a few of our portfolio companies. We generally take a call in 2 to 3 weeks.

We work closely with you, and communicate transparently even if we do not invest. Our goal is to ensure that your time invested delivers some value to you.

How do you support portfolio companies after investment?

We take a hands-on approach to support you in your pursuit of category creating companies.

Seed Focus: We do not treat investments as optionality bets. We work alongside founders on market strategy, hiring, fundraising from day 1

Global network: We leverage our network of investors, industry experts, advisors, and potential hires across India and the US for our founders.

Resources: We provide our portfolio companies with access to proprietary research and data and network of partners

Community: We have a strong community of our founders and executives who connect with each other and share knowledge and best practices. This community provides valuable support and insights to founders as they scale their businesses.
