Backing audacious underdogs.

We are an early-stage VC backing B2B startups in South Asia and Southeast Asia, with portfolio exits to global institutions such as KAST Finance and JP Morgan Chase & Co.

13startups backed

2institutional exits

5countries

We are founders, operators, and builders ourselves. We have raised capital, rebuilt products, run out of runway, managed difficult pivots, scaled teams, and gone through exits. We know what early-stage pressure feels like because we have lived it. And it shapes how we invest.

THE BELIEF

Risk-taking and skin in the game is paramount.

We back founders with high integrity, urgency and the willingness to stay in the trenches long enough to figure things out. At the earliest stages, pattern recognition matters, and so does empathy. Sometimes, founders need capital. Sometimes they need perspective. Often, they need customers.

Two funds. One belief.

What founders have to say.

nVentures took a chance on us when we were just a fledgling idea. Beyond the money, they have been an exceptional partner, with mentorship that helped us through real challenges and opened doors to new partnerships.

Sameera Nilupul · Co-founder, Kaiju Labs

nVentures is more than an investor. The team, including Chalinda and Ashok, is consistently there for us. Chalinda in particular has been our rock through the ups and downs. If you want more than a cheque, this is the one.

Aabith Sabeer · Co-founder, SimpleBooks

They added value in real ways, finding us new investors and connecting us with new distribution channels. I would recommend nVentures to any founder looking for smart capital that adds to the business.
