$150 Million Technology
Venture Capital Fund
Formed in September 2006, IDG Ventures India manages
a US$150 Million venture capital fund focused on helping entrepreneurs
grow innovative companies on a global basis. We believe that the rapid
increase in the market for technology products and services in India,
the proven value of India as an offshore resource base and the entrepreneurial
spirit and talent of its people, creates an extremely bright future
for venture capital investing in the country.IDG Ventures India focuses on early-stage investments in technology and technology- enabled companies. We typically invest between US$0.5 Million to US$5 Million in early-stage companies and opportunistically up to US$10 Million in compelling growth-stage companies. These companies will cover a wide range of sectors such as outsourced services, design engineering, electronics and hi-tech manufacturing, consumer internet and digital media, software products, semiconductors, telecom infrastructure, consumer mobile services, retail financial services and other emerging technology-enabled sectors. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs build category-leading companies in India and globally. Given IDG Venture's 10 offices across the United States and Asia, we are particularly well-suited to help companies in India expand into the large US and China markets. While IDG Ventures India focuses primarily on funding companies based in India, we also invest in companies outside India that want to leverage India as a critical offshore resource base and/or want to drive significant sales revenue from the Indian market. The opportunity for venture capitalists to actively support early-stage technology companies in India is substantial. Our differentiated value add is the ability to harness the power of the IDG Platform, the US and Asia network of IDG Ventures and the collective operating and investing experience of the India Team to support entrepreneurs in building category-leading companies on a global basis. |
