Unicorn India Ventures Investment Objective

UIV aims to generate superior long-term capital appreciation by investing in early-stage, tech-enabled startups with strong scalability, high gross margins, and positive unit economics. The firm focuses on sectors with low CAC (customer acquisition cost) and sectoral tailwinds, supporting India’s digital and structural growth story.

UIV’s investment thesis is centered around:

• Valuation-Conscious Deal Structuring: High ownership at early-stage valuations
• Proprietary Sourcing: Access via founder networks, state incubators, and university ecosystems
• Tier-II & Tier-III City Focus: 65%+ portfolio sourced outside metro VC hubs
• Sector-Agnostic Innovation: Balanced exposure across SaaS, DeepTech, FinTech, and GovTech
• Stage Strategy: Product-Market Fit (PMF) to Series A, ensuring optimal risk-reward
• UIV Fund I delivered ~6.8x TVPI and ~2.8x DPI by year 8. Fund II is at ~1.9x TVPI in year 4, while Fund III is raising INR 1000 Cr with global participation (50% international LPs).

At UIV, the investment philosophy is to:

• Be the first institutional investor in high-potential companies
• Drive value through early entry, founder support, and cost-effective scaling
• Prioritize sectors with positive unit economics and government incentives
• Create inclusive growth by investing in emerging India—beyond Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore

With a proven track record, sector-agnostic thesis, and valuation-driven approach, UIV is building tomorrow’s unicorns through responsible and scalable venture capital investing.
