Invests in 5-6 startups per year across pre-seed to pre-Series A, spanning ideation, pre-revenue, and early-revenue stages. Led Doubtnut's seed round in 2018 (later acquired by Allen Career Institute, 2023, an exit for the fund). Portfolio includes Atlan, which raised a $105M Series C led by GIC and Meritech in 2024.
WaterBridge Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2017 (Delhi-headquartered per most sources, with a Bengaluru presence also cited), investing from pre-seed to pre-Series A across education, healthcare, SaaS, financial services, and consumer technology. The firm typically leads rounds and prefers to stay away from deals where it can't offer a genuine value-add beyond capital.
Why WaterBridge Ventures?
Explicit "value-add or nothing" investment philosophy — states it avoids deals where it can't genuinely help beyond writing a check, rather than deploying capital passively. Real, disclosed exit track record including Doubtnut's 2023 acquisition. Backed Atlan from early stage through its growth into a $750M-valuation Series C company.
