At YourNest, we empower our stakeholders with empathy that is at the core of our DNA. Our founders benefits from:

• ‘Nurture Capital’ rather than plain ‘Venture Capital’.
• Our ability to mentor and coach entrepreneurs.
• Our advisory expertise in key entrepreneurial matters: strategy,
  compliance, legal, HR, secretarial, talent sourcing, etc.
• Our network of corporates and individuals who can collectively multiply advantage for our investees.

We believe, too, that we are Challengineers: a team that actively pushes boundaries and engineers outcomes by supporting founders in their journey. We pride ourselves on identifying committed entrepreneurs with the highest level of integrity, enabling their business ambitions and helping them to scale for international markets.

And it is this level of trust that helps investors to continually partner us in catalysing India’s startup ecosystem.

Unified in this cause, we grow not just material wealth, but also the careers of our team, the lives of our founders’ teams and of their families. Individually, we inspire each other. Together we are incredible in every way. For, meaningfully and mutually for ourselves and the industry, we nurture success.

We believe there are critical sectors, rooted in technology, that will fuel the next level of disruption in the new India.

We aim to invest in enterprise-oriented, innovative, IP-led, tech-product startups that are built around emerging technologies with applications at scale. These product companies can be in sectors including Mobile Internet, Cloud Technology, Automation of Knowledge Work, Low-code or No-code Platforms, AI-based Cybersecurity, IOT, Edge Computing, Digital Twinning, Autonomous Technologies, Robotics, Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM). SpaceTech, AgriTech, etc.

Our investments always start at an early seed stage, and we continue investing in promising companies at various phases of their growth along with co-investors who may be individuals, institutions, AIFs or international investors such that the risk and reward of the portfolio company’s success is shared.
