2021 has been an incredible year for the Indian startup ecosystem. @cloud_capital too invested in 20 companies this year across 22 rounds.
Also had the fortune of bringing aboard @manjipal in this crazy ride 🙂
Sharing our 2021 activity and learnings:

Huge congratulations to @apurvas96, @thetysonchen, and the entire @getavoca team on reaching a $1B valuation 🚀
In @cloud_capital's ~6 year journey, this is our 2nd🦄.
Avoca was the 4th investment from Cloud Cap's latest US fund (powered by @galaxyfunds).
We partnered with Avoca during their seed+ round, right as the company was crossing ~$1M ARR. Apurva, pretty confident that this is the inflection point - where product, market, and momentum all was starting to click.
This is an appreciation post, acknowledging that with the best teams, you don't have to do much. Just get out of their way and cheer (be helpful when needed).
Avoca is solving a painfully large problem in home services, where missed calls literally translate to lost revenue. Excited for how they continue to transform the services economy.

Doing my annual rewind for @cloud_capital differently this year.
2024 has been a bizarre year for Cloud Capital. Quite a few investments from 2021/22 shut down while there were a few up-rounds. This year also unlocked a special milestone in the journey of any venture investor — having a unicorn in their portfolio. 🦄
⚡ After syndicating investments for the past 4 years, Cloud Capital now invests from its US fund. This means more predictable cheque sizes, faster wiring, and ease of investing across geographies.
The fund will invest anywhere from $50k-$100k in pre-seed to Seed+ opportunities with a possibility to double down into future rounds.
Wishing everyone an amazing 2025 🥂

Billion-dollar revenue, but still failing customers?
The real issue isn’t the tools—it’s the silos between teams.
#DevRev’s CEO @dheeraj explains how #AI alone won’t fix it—it takes a cohesive platform that unites product, people, and customers to drive real, lasting change.
