Introducing iSeed: India’s first micro-fund backed by top global founders

Today, I’m announcing iSeed, my new micro-fund. iSeed plans to invest in 30 early-stage Indian companies at an average check of $150K, with a particular focus on technology companies.

iSeed is powered by the AngelList back-office, which makes it easy for full-time founders to run venture funds on the side. My dayjob remains CEO of AngelList India while I run iSeed on nights and weekends.

Anchored by Naval Ravikant

AngelList founder Naval Ravikant is one of the largest investors in iSeed. He’s joined by the founders of Xiaomi, Thumbtack, Hike, Flutter, Bolt, TaskUs, CoinList and WikiHow, in addition to the Founders and Managing Partners of VC firms like DST Global and Matrix Partners India. Together, iSeed’s backers have started or invested in 24 unicorns worth over $200B combined.

Smart money to help with scaling

The investors in iSeed were carefully selected based on their knowledge and willingness to help portfolio companies scale. They can act as a bridge for Indian founders, who are increasingly targeting international customers and investors.

Open for business

Crisis doesn’t limit innovation. If anything, the opposite is true.
