Worst VCs in India Who are some of the worst VCs in India? Here's my list: Vaibhav Domkundwar: has NEVER responded to any email I sent to him Prime Ventures: Same as above and also think they are God's gift to entrepreneurship (despite a meh portfolio) Chiratae : Again very low on responsiveness and approachability Lightbox VC: The absolute worst portfolio amongst all VC funds (and hence in the process of winding down) Matrix Partners: Intellectually lazy / nepotistic / blindly fund repeat entrepreneurs without too much thought even if their ideas suck Honorable mentions: Lightspeed: Poor quality portfolio for a fund of their size Peak XV: Far cry from being Sequoia quality (no wonder were kicked out from the parent). Found this on Reddit

Eximus Ventures by Pearl Agarwal. Bass baate and no output on it. Just responds with sorry but it doesn't align with our interest and say they are industry agnostic everywhere on social media.

Most VCs only work on recommendations or PR for easy filtration. They don't even check their mail. This make them miss good opportunities. At some point their focus shifts to managing, maintaining and exiting existing investments and investors. On the other hand, early VCs take this opportunity to climb on new potential startups. Also the reason why you see a lot of startups that make the headlines raising funds from multiple angels and early VCs

PeakXV point is true. The rebranding was helpful to some point, but if it’s the same set of people managing it, what’s the point?

I completely agree on Lightbox. Their portfolio feels more like a graveyard for bad startups. Most of their companies have disappeared into oblivion.
