Expert Dojo launches India-dedicated cohort to back over 10 startups
Medial

US-based early-stage venture capital firm Expert DOJO has launched an India-dedicated startup cohort. As part of this accelerator program, the firm will invest $100,000 each in over 10 startups across sectors such as technology, AI, EV, B2B and more. According to Expert DOJO, the startups will not only receive capital but also get mentorship, growth support, and access to its global investor network. Applications for the cohort are now open for startups. This cohort is designed to help early-stage startups strengthen their business models, enter new markets, and move quickly toward raising their next funding round. The aim of this cohort is to support Indian founders facing challenges like limited access to global capital, lack of international mentorship, and restricted market reach. This launch follows Expert Dojo’s earlier announcement of a $15 million India-focused fund, with plans to deploy in 20–25 early-stage startups by FY26. While the fund is sector-agnostic, it will focus on high-potential areas like fintech, SaaS, B2B, and AI, helping founders scale beyond borders. With its latest upcoming cohort, Expert DOJO remains committed to helping startups with not just capital, but a structured path to global growth. By combining deep founder support with an active investor network and global market access, they continue to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of impactful, venture-backable companies.

The fund will invest in innovative areas generated by the New India opportunity, including startups in consumer tech, fintech, food & beverage, AI, and global SaaS. According to 2am VC, Fund II plans to invest in up to 30 Indian startups, predominantly at the pre-seed to seed stage, aspiring to lead investment rounds and take meaningful ownership in companies to provide operational value to founders. 60% of the fund will be committed to initial investments, leaving 40% to support founders in follow-on investments. 2am VC connects global investors with Indian founders as a hyperlocal partner, curating deal flow for global investors into the next generation of Indian founders while unlocking global resources for Indian founders to reach international networks and opportunities. The firm is dedicated to speed, transparency, founder-friendliness, and cross-border synergies, blending operational agility and institutional processes to effectively secure deals and go above and beyond to support founders. 2am VC states that it examines the key elements driving the New India, as founders build companies to tap into uniquely Indian contexts to better serve Indian end-users. The maturation of foundational models is giving way to new niche categories that meet emerging needs. The firm goes the extra mile to support founders as their hyperlocal and hyperglobal partners by introducing key relationships, arranging customers, and offering targeted guidance to support growth and achieve product-market fit. 2am VC has closed a $10 million Fund I. To date, 2am VC has invested in 47 companies, including notable startups such as NEWME, Apna Mart, Bimaplan, and Karbon Card, among others.
