Eight partners manage 34 active portfolio companies — a notably high partner-to-founder ratio versus typical VC funds. Fund I recognized at 4.6x Gross MOIC and ~190% DPI (as of Dec 2024); Fund II at 3.2x Gross MOIC. Backed Uniphore from early stage through its growth into a $2.5B-valuation global AI unicorn.
YourNest Venture Capital is a Pre-Series A-focused fund founded in 2011 to nurture global market leaders from India, investing in technology-led, enterprise B2B and deep tech (IoT, SaaS) startups. The firm follows what it calls a "Nurture Capital" philosophy — a deliberately high partner-to-founder ratio and concentrated portfolio, rather than spreading capital across a large number of companies.
Why YourNest Venture Capital?
Unusually low write-off ratio across three funds, attributed to a concentrated, high-touch portfolio model rather than high-volume spray investing. Institutional-grade LP base including India's Ministry of Finance (via SIDBI) and NIIF as anchor investors — rare government-linked backing for a fund this size. Early backer of Uniphore, one of India's most prominent global AI unicorns.
