Insurance-first BNPL startup Finsall has raised Rs 15 crore ($1.8 million) in a bridge round led by Unicorn India Ventures and Seafund with additional involvement from other institutional investors. In January 2022, Unicorn India Ventures and Seafund had led Rs 12 crore ($1.45 million) pre Series A round in Finsall. The proceeds will be used for setting up an NBFC to scale lending operations and deliver more value to its customers in insurance premium financing, the company said in a press release. Finsall has launched credit as a service (CaaS) platform, which is a plug and play model designed to help its customers benefit by simply choosing the insurance products they need to offer credit for without the complexity of building separate credit or lending software systems. Finsall claims to have seen a 9X revenue growth over the last two years. The firm is serving customers across 8,000 locations in India and has seen major growth in the non-life insurance segments. In FY24, Finsall grew at an average M-O-M growth rate of 18% in insurance premiums. As per the company, it is on track to achieve a 4X increase in revenue for the fiscal year 2025.

Unicorn India Ventures closes Fund III at Rs 1,200 Cr Deeptech-focused venture capital firm Unicorn India Ventures has closed its third fund at Rs 1,200 crore, surpassing its initial target of Rs 1,000 crore. LPs in Fund III include HNIs, UHNIs, family offices, and institutions. Backers include Sidbi, SBI, Nabard, and the state governments of Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. According to Unicorn India Ventures, the fund focuses on investments in semiconductors, spacetech, and AI infrastructure. The VC firm claims to have already seen strong early traction, with seven to eight portfolio companies witnessing substantial follow-on rounds. The fund will make 20 investments with an average ticket size of 10-15 crore. It plans to announce four investments in the coming months across quantum sensing, agritech, and spacetech. Across its three funds, the VC firm has built a portfolio of nearly 50 companies, with a total portfolio valuation of about $5 billion. The firm says that it is largely staying away from AI applications (SaaS) and focusing on AI infrastructure such as semiconductors, data centres, power, and enabling technologies. It is also actively exploring nuclear micro power generation as an enabler for AI. Another major trend playing out in the fund is the growing presence of academicians as startup founders. Four to five companies in Fund III are led by academicians, with one of them being a teaching academic. Unicorn India Ventures (UIV) is a Mumbai-based, SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) launched in 2015 by Bhaskar Majumdar and Anil Joshi. It acts as an early-stage venture capital firm investing in technology-led startups, focusing on seed to pre-Series A rounds with investments ranging from Rs 1 to 10 crore. The firm supports B2B, SaaS, and DeepTech sectors, aiming to build, support, and scale companies, with over 60 investments to its credit.
