YourNest Venture Capital

YourNest Venture Capital, based in Gurgaon, India, is a prominent early-stage venture capital firm with a dedicated focus on deep tech-enabled startups across India. Established in 2011 with its inaugural YourNest Angel Fund, the firm has consistently championed innovative companies leveraging advanced technologies to solve complex problems and create new markets. Their investment philosophy centers on identifying disruptive technologies and backing visionary founding teams with the potential for significant scale.

The firm primarily invests in Pre-Series A and Series A rounds, targeting companies that demonstrate strong intellectual property, scalable business models, and a clear path to market leadership. YourNest's portfolio spans a diverse range of deep tech sectors, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, enterprise SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and agritech. They are known for their hands-on approach, providing strategic guidance and operational support to their portfolio companies beyond just capital.

YourNest has successfully raised multiple funds, demonstrating a growing commitment to the Indian deep tech ecosystem. Following their initial YourNest Angel Fund (Fund I), they launched YourNest India VC Fund (Fund II), and more recently, the YourNest India Deep-Tech Fund (Fund III). Fund III, launched with a target corpus of INR 500 crore (approximately $67 million USD at the time of its launch), underscores their ambition to significantly contribute to the deep tech landscape. For initial investments, YourNest typically deploys first cheques ranging from $1 million to $3 million, with the capacity to provide substantial follow-on funding, potentially up to $7 million, as their portfolio companies achieve key milestones and require further growth capital.

This strategic capital deployment, combined with their sector-specific expertise, positions YourNest Venture Capital as a key enabler for India's burgeoning deep tech startup ecosystem, fostering innovation and driving technological advancements across various industries.
