Pentathlon’s Vision For B2B SaaS: A Deep Dive Into The ‘Selective’ Investment Thesis, AI Insights & Fundamentals

The software industry continues to thrive, with a focus on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to create more efficient and cost-effective solutions. B2B tech startups are also seeing success, with several portfolio companies raising follow-on rounds. Successful exits, such as Pentathlon's exit from Tripeur, have generated significant returns. Going forward, Fund II plans to invest in two startups per quarter, with a focus on companies experiencing strong revenue growth. Despite the growth of AI-powered software, the traditional enterprise/B2B SaaS market in India remains strong, with expected revenues reaching $50 billion by 2030.
