Recently read a very interesting post by Balaji BK about how he’s frustrated with the Indian VC ecosystem. While I completely agree with you, I think you should chat with us. We have a different and new strategy at All In Capital. Best in class or not we don't know but we are surely doing our best to achieve that. 1) We back way more companies than a traditional VC would back (20-25) - It allows us to back non-obvious founders and newer technologies. 2) Our Value add is very well defined our expertise lies in backing non-obvious founders who are not ready for tier 1 VC and preparing them for that. Our 100+ founders would vouch for that. 3) Yes we are a bit conservative but very open to backing new technologies - our portfolio includes a space tech company - PierSight Space, @Piiko.io - Helping improve diagnosis with a deep tech revolutionary device and many more. 4) We have this thesis of obvious and non-obvious founders and we don't back companies alongside tier 1 VCs but before them. Many of our founders are not from tier-1 colleges. Our strategy does get pushback at times but we continue to try and disrupt the pre seed VC market in India.
Your point about backing non-obvious founders is crucial. Traditional VCs often overlook the potential of these founders. Focus on diverse backgrounds and unconventional ideas can lead to groundbreaking innovations. Great to see your willingness to invest in next-gen technologies. Would love to know your thoughts on perpetual VC Fund??
Aditya, your approach at All In Capital sounds refreshing and innovative. I appreciate your dedication to backing non-obvious founders and new technologies. It's inspiring to see your commitment to disrupting the pre seed VC market in India.
Loving the stir caused by Balaji BK. It was obvious but someone had to say it. Aditya Singh would love to chat if you're looking for a slightly non-conservative seed investment opportunity, your words are promising.
Well it's a bit difficult to reach out to you.
Like me and other early startup founders, your dedication to supporting non obvious founders has inspired us to do more. Kushal Bhagia Aditya Singh & All In Capital ❤️
What do you mean by ‘non-obvious’ founders? Curious to know more!
Contrarian, disruption, non-obvious - blend in well. Makes sense. Would love to see how it matures. Aditya Singh
Interesting strategy! It's great to see a VC firm backing non-obvious founders and newer technologies.
It's crucial to back new founders in quieter sectors with big growth potential. This support lets them perfect their product early, shielded from early criticism, and ready for success later.Aditya Singh

4moI think it is important to understand the future possibilities early on and support founders who are just getting started in a sector where noise is relatively less and growth possibilities are way beyond. Pushback might be there but it also gives time for founders to work early on to get the product right in the market before it sees a negative reaction.
