Venture capital firm Eximius Ventures has launched its second fund with a target corpus of $30 Mn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Fund II, the pre-seed focussed VC firm is looking to invest in 25-30 companies across fintech, artificial intelligence (AI)\/software-as-a-service (SaaS), frontier tech and consumer tech.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eximius Ventures has kept the initial ticker size per investment worth $500K while reserving \u201chalf of the corpus for follow-on investments, to further support its high-potential portfolio companies,\u201d the VC firm said in its statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Its Fund II has invested in four companies so far across consumer tech and AI\/Saas, the statement added. Eximius Ventures has either led or co-led these investments along with other investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c…Eximius is doubling down on pre-seed startups, with an aim to drive momentum in India\u2019s innovation ecosystem,\u201d said Eximius Ventures founder Pearl Agarwal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fund II will raise capital from high net worth individuals (HNIs), founder-investors, family offices and global Japanese venture companies, as per the statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the second fund, Agarwal said, \u201cWe will be looking at companies led by seasoned operators and entrepreneurs, solving with a first principle mindset and exceptional execution capacity in a large market.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eximius rolled out its $10 Mn first fund in 2021 and made investments in 23 companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It claims that around 60% of these portfolio companies have secured multiple up-rounds from prominent global investors, delivering an IRR of greater than 40%. Jar, Vegapay and Stan are some of the companies Eximius backed with its Fund I.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 2020, Eximius counts startups like skydo, Eka.Care, DevAssure, fleek and Fego.ai among others in its portfolio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, venture capital fund<\/span> SamVed also floated a $50 Mn fund <\/span><\/a>to back tech-focused early-stage startups in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, early-stage <\/span>VC firm Capital A launched its Fund II<\/span><\/a> with a target corpus of INR 400 Cr.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
