We help bold founders from
day zero

We invest in global software startups from India. We typically invest $500K-$1M in your pre-seed or seed round and follow-on in subsequent rounds. With our specialization in GTM, we are committed to being partners in your journey.

First to Commit.
First to Believe.

Whether we lead or co-lead your funding round, we usually are the first ones to commit. Getting the first investor on-board is always the hardest, and what the founder needs most is an anchor who is a friend and a trusted advisor. This is who we aim to be.

“Bold was the first one to commit on our round, every founder needs someone like them on their cap table.”

Abhishek Rajagopal
Co-Founder, Togai

Pre-product or early revenue isn't early for us

We don’t just invest capital and wish you good luck. We roll up our sleeves and work with you to achieve PMF. We help you with product messaging, pricing, and your early sales motion. We are hands on patient investors on your cap table.

“BoldCap led our pre-seed round when we hadn’t launched our product. As first-time entrepreneurs, we wanted hands-on investors who could help us in building a global product.”

“We started our sales motion even before building out our initial product. Most VCs were skeptical, but BoldCap backed us and co-led our pre-seed round.”

We aren't scared
to take contrarian investment decisions

We don't shy away from backing founders who see the world differently. We invest in bold founders who go after large addressable markets and have clear insight into pressing problems.

Enable your global GTM motion

Although most of our founders have past sales experience, we actively work with them to identify their first few design partners. The GTM strategy varies for every company; hence, we work closely with them to build the sales motion. Apart from GTM strategies, we also make direct introductions to prospective customers.

“There are very few early stage VCs who will spend significant time helping you with your GTM motion. We do weekly calls with Bold to evaluate which experiments worked and which didn’t.”

Help with your next fundraise

We are ex-founders ourselves and we understand why fundraising is time consuming. Hence, we do our best to help you run the entire process and proactively connect you with Series A and late stage investors. We also maintain reserve capital to participate in your follow-on rounds.

Know more about us

When should we reach out to BoldCap?

arrow left

We are early stage investors, which means we don’t differentiate much between pre-product, angel/pre-seed or seed rounds. No stage is early for us, but if you have already crossed $1M in ARR, then it might be too late for us to invest.

How much equity do we generally
take ?

arrow left

Unlike other larger venture funds who require a substantial ownership of 20-25%, we generally look to have an ownership of 10% (after your seed round). We spend a lot of our time and resources with portfolio founders in their 0-1 journey, hence we need to take meaningful equity positions.

Do you invest only in US-based startups?

arrow left

We primarily back companies from India building global B2B products. We occasionally also back Indian founders in the US who have teams in both geographies. From a company structuring perspective, we invest only in Delaware C Corp companies. If you are an Indian company without a US structure, don’t worry we will help you in getting set up in the US.

Do you only do priced rounds ?

arrow left

We are open to both priced rounds and convertible notes. We understand sometimes early stage startups find it hard to do priced rounds, so we are comfortable with convertible notes with a cap.

Can Boldcap assist us in building our GTM strategy ?

arrow left

We are a GTM focused fund, and we have a global network of experienced operators and early employees from fast-growing startups who can offer valuable insights and resources to help you scale your business. With our extensive network and experience, we're confident that we can assist you in building a robust GTM strategy.

How do you approach follow-on investments in your portfolio companies?

arrow left

We've got your back! We've set aside enough reserves to support our portfolio companies in future rounds of funding. But hey, we also have deep relationships with some of the biggest global VCs out there. When you're ready for your next round, we'd be happy to introduce you to our network. We're here to help you succeed, and we believe that includes giving you access to our network of top-tier investors.
