Why This Fund

The Fund will invest in early-stage businesses in India, typically in pre-series A or series A rounds.

Sector-agnostic approach: With a proclivity towards health-tech, consumer-tech, fintech & education-tech businesses, steering clear of capital-intensive businesses.

Experienced Team with Long Standing Track Record: Investments team led by Sohil Chand (ex-India head of Norwest Venture Partners) with long-standing track record of identifying future winners early.

The investment manager, LC Nueva Investment Partners LLP, is a partnership between Singapore based Lighthouse Canton and Delhi based Nueva Capital.

WHY INDIA?

The Case for Investing in India

the strategy

India has witnessed exponential growth in internet penetration over the last decade, with over 700 million users accessing the internet. This digital reach has led to the emergence of technologically enabled businesses solving conventional problems in innovative ways.

The Indian start-up ecosystem is amongst the top three globally. It has emerged as one of the most attractive investment opportunities, resulting in substantial foreign and domestic venture capital flows into India. Our venture capital team has years of experience investing in high-quality start-ups in the early stages of the growth curve and managing these investments throughout the investment lifecycle. We play a vital role in helping these companies enhance performance by bringing capital, strategic insights, global relationships, and operational support, thereby unlocking value and leading to the most rewarding returns in the long run for our investors.

Mobilizing capital for purpose

Our strengths lie in both raising capital and managing it. As a founder-led company, we understand the journey an entrepreneur takes. Startups need the right skills, guidance, management discipline, and structure to sail smoothly amid growth opportunities and unpredictable challenges. We work with founders with capital across their business lifecycle, from early years to scale until post divestment. We bundle together all the elements of startup development and bridge the gap from ideas to outcomes, to walk with them through the complete journey from venture to wealth management.
