Medial

VentureSoul Partners, a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund focused on structured credit solutions for new-economy companies, has announced the attainment of its base fund target of Rs 300 crore. VentureSoul has marked its green-shoe option, with the fund continuing its focus on growth and structured financing opportunities across India’s rapidly evolving new economy landscape. Since October 2024, VentureSoul Partners has completed 15 investments across a diverse mix of high-growth companies in the new economic landscape. With growing participation from domestic family offices, HNIs, and institutional investors, VentureSoul Partners shall continue taking new subscriptions under the green-shoe option until February 2026, which is the targeted final close target. Co-founded in 2023 by Anurag Tripathi, Ashish Gala, and Kunal Wadhwa, VentureSoul provides venture-debt and structured credit solutions to new-economy companies. The firm blends traditional banking credit discipline with data-driven risk assessment to offer customized financing suited to high-growth startups. With a maiden fund targeting a corpus of Rs 600 crore (over 300 crore a greenshoe option), VentureSoul backs companies at Series A or later stages particularly in fintech, B2C, B2B, and SaaS that helps founders reduce equity dilution while fueling scalable growth. The fund is sector-agnostic and aims to be a value-based partner that supports the next generation of India’s technology-enabled businesses.

Theia Ventures announces first close of maiden fund at $30 Mn Venture capital firm Theia Ventures has announced the first close of its maiden fund, securing $30 million (approx Rs 266.2 crore) toward its $30 million target. Theia will focus its Fund I investments on deeptech, energy transition, and decarbonisation, backing startups in areas like green mobility, sustainable materials, battery technologies, clean logistics, and industrial decarbonisation. To date, the firm has already locked in commitments exceeding 50% of the target. It is structured as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) under SEBI regulations. Theia’s founders have also brought in British International Investment (BII) as an anchor investor, along with support from other global investors such as Allocator One (Germany), Cisco Foundation (US), and Vitality Capital Partners (Australia). Domestically, family offices and industrial groups including Anand Mahindra, Thermax’s Meher Pudumjee, JM Financial, Vimson Group, and Shivanand Salgaocar Group are backing Theia. The fund plans to make 18–20 early-stage investments, with individual cheque sizes typically between $500,000 to $1 million, and reserve roughly 50% of capital for follow-on rounds. Theia has already deployed capital in Sarla Aviation (aerospace) and Climitra Carbon (industrial biochar). It has also committed investments in startups working on precision fermentation and AI-based energy modeling. The final close is expected by the end of fiscal year 2026 (FY26).
