“neoKeiretsu Venture Studio is a refreshingly different approach to seed-stage funding in India. Kudos to the team for recognising that India does not need one more seed fund but a differentiated approach to early-stage investments.”

Arun J - Director at RealSME

As a Pre-Series A venture fund, I see a lot of innovative opportunities at an early stage that are lacking in funds and mentorship. With a venture studio like this in place, there is an opportunity for neoKeiretsu to act as our feeder fund."

Vignesh S - Managing Partner at Artha99

Palo Alto has venture studios, but this concept is more applicable to the Indian startup ecosystem, where there is a gap between talent and maturity. Look forward to the pipeline of startups that will emerge from this effort."
