Venture capital firm Trillion Dollar Ventures (TDV) has launched its second fund with a total corpus of Rs 50 crore, doubling its corpus size from the first fund. The new fund aims to support early-stage tech startups in India. TDV plans to back innovative founders and support companies in the pre-seed and seed stages with cheque sizes ranging from Rs 1-2 crore per startup. The fund’s goal is to collaborate with and nurture these companies. The VC firm will invest in business models such as platform plays, marketplaces, and exchange businesses across various consumer tech (B2C) categories, including spirituality tech, fintech, gaming, the creator economy, social media, and consumer upgrades. According to TDV, its investment strategy focuses on backing serial founders or those with deep domain expertise, with a strong preference for high-tech, low-operation businesses. The fund’s lifecycle is set between 5 to 7 years, with expectations to make 10-12 investments annually, starting capital deployment in Q3 FY25. TDV reports that its first fund provided exit opportunities within 2 years of investment, generating over 60% IRR. The firm has received strong commitments from limited partners (LPs) in India and countries like the US, UK, UAE, and Singapore, validating its early-stage investment model and high return potential. Its backers include top global unicorn founders, family offices, and CXOs across various industries. Launched in 2021 by Ujwal Sutaria, TDV is dedicated to investing in innovative founders and nurturing startups across sectors such as fintech, gaming, spirituality tech, and consumer tech, claiming to have backed more than 30 companies.
