Woke up to find this (now deleted) post attacking us for honestly I dunno why. So I checked my chats and mails -
> We have passed quickly- wished him the best and readily admitted we are ofcourse often wrong.
> Made intros to other funds and angels who maybe be able to help him.
> He’s even pinged me for advice on a termsheet he got and then to get into an event we had organised.
> accused us of not having a big vision but he’s himself pivoted AFAIk from the idea he actually pitched us.
What hurt you so much bro @cosmicanuj ? There are better ways to do engagement farming.
Anyways - to founders reading this - please feel free to reference us with founders we have actually backed. If we haven’t invested in someone they haven’t actually received the full @All_IN_CAPITAL package 🤷🏻♂️
@kushalbhagia Contrary to the opinion, Kushal should be the first investor on the captable. It not just increases the odds of success (owing to his right guidance) but also brings a humane figure on the board (someone who listens without judgement).
Always available. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Enough of this nonsense!

ORR (Bellandur) has been our “office + home” for the last 9 years. But it’s now very-very hard to continue here. 💔
We have decided to move out.
Background:
- Average commute for my colleagues shot up to 1.5+ hrs (one way)
- Roads full of potholes & dust, coupled with lowest intent to get them rectified
- Didn’t see any of this changing in the next 5 years
Meet the winners of 'IndiaQuotient 30 Under 30' - an initiative that celebrates top talent from our portfolio companies.

Totally agree with Mr Murthy’s views. It’s not our moment to work less and entertain ourselves. Rather it’s our moment to go all in and build in 1 generation what other countries have built over many generations!
(日本語が続きます)SMBC Asia Rising Fund launch event in Mumbai! Thank you all the industry leaders for coming. It was a great moment both for SMBC and Incubate Fund Asia. We are now fully powered both for seed investment (sector agnostic) and growth investment (fintech and supply-chain focus) so let's collaborate more and create a bright future of India together!
Hum India startup ecosystem ke vikaas mein yogadaan dene ke lie kadee mehanat karenge. Aaie milakar ek ujjval bhavishya banaye. Jai Hind!
ムンバイにて、SMBCさんと仕掛けているフィンテック特化のグロースファンドのローンチイベントを開催しました。SMBCの役員の方々、インドの主要VCでフィンテックを担当するパートナー陣や、現地金融機関、政府関係者、日系大企業のインド事業担当の方々などを一挙に集め、本ファンドの狙いをお伝えすると共に、フィンテックを取り巻く環境やインドスタートアップとの連携などついてのさまざまなパネルディスカッション、そして最後はネットワーキングディナーと盛りだくさんでしたが、あっという間に6時間以上が過ぎるとても良い時間でした。
SMBCさんという日本を代表するグローバル金融機関がインドや東南アジアのスタートアップと連携することで大きなイノベーションを起こしていく。このプロジェクトが成功することにより、日本の多くの企業がどんどんアジアのスタートアップと協業することに繋がっていく。そうなっていけば本当に良いなと思うと共に、大きな責任も感じています。Incubate Fund Asiaもメンバーが増え、どんどんパワーアップしています。これからますます気合を入れて、インドと東南アジアのスタートアップエコシステムの発展のために骨を埋めていきます。
3号ファンド、1st クローズしました!We announced the 1st close of our 3rd India+SEA focused fund! Also rebranded to Incubate Fund Asia. We will double down in India and expand the scope to SEA!
Thank you @supriya_speaks for a nice article. https://t.co/GmY2TRgnaL @economictimes
Having now invested in 130+ startups, some patterns started to clearly emerge on where founders need help
At it's core, founders need help finding
- Customers
- Investors
- Employees
We @All_IN_CAPITAL asked - how can we help our founders with all 3 ?
🚨 So we built AllStars!🚨
Hard truths about running a startup nobody talks about:
- No playbook exists, you're drafting as you go.
- Your closest confidantes may not even understand what you do.
- No boss to shoulder blame, failures fall on you.
- Days drenched in anxiety & doubt are frequent.
Pro tip: Get over the fancy life of entrepreneurs you see on social media. Behind-the-scenes are excruciating af!

Close to 100 days as a VC. Haven't published any thread yet. Doesn't feel right. So here goes!
Possible opportunities in Indian Pharma💊. Been thinking about this - $50B market, 25%+ EBITDA, 13% CAGR, limited innovation, regulatory tailwinds. Something's gotta give?

Write this on your whiteboard, don’t erase it, update it every month & measure your comfort & discomfort.
Nothing else can convince you to optimize burn.
Without much noise around it, @frdahsan has been a silent champion & a strong support system for many early stage founders. Super easy to reach and always ready to help. Many founders can attest to this.
All the best for what's next :)

We are going to see 1000s of generative AI-based apps this year - and the 1000s part will prove that none of them are likely to be defensible or have any moats to make then investible.
