LC Nueva Investment Partners has launched the LC Nueva Momentum Fund, aiming for a target corpus of Rs 150 crore (approximately $18 million) with an additional greenshoe option of Rs 100 crore (around $12 million). This follows the successful closure of its maiden fund at Rs 350 crore, which has reported that half of its portfolio companies secured further rounds of funding, achieving an impressive nearly 57% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) in average revenues. The new fund will support 10-15 high-growth startups in Series A and B rounds, focusing on “winners” from its previous fund and secondary market opportunities. LC Nueva Investment Partners, a collaboration between Singapore’s Lighthouse Canton and Delhi NCR-based Nueva Capital, aims to invest in companies that have shown improved operating performance and are considered high-conviction investments. The Momentum Fund’s strategy emphasizes identifying high-potential investments to deliver exceptional returns by leveraging strong relationships from its previous fund and actively pursuing secondary opportunities. In the broader venture capital landscape, early-stage firm Capital A has launched its Fund II with a target of Rs 400 crore, while z21 Ventures recently achieved the first close of its $40 million Fund II at $20 million.
