YourNest Venture Capital is an early-stage venture capital fund, based in India, that focuses on investing in deep technology and 'Pre-Series A' startups. The fund is SEBI-registered and seeks to invest in the new, connected economy.

Their investment domain spans across various tech-oriented sectors such as Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Electronic System Design, Enterprise SaaS, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Blockchain. One of their unique propositions is the concentration on startups with a B2B business model.

Through YourNest Innovative Products VC Fund III, the fund manages a US$ 69 million corpus dedicated to supporting disruptive technologies such as AI, IoT, Robotics, AR/VR/MR, Dev. Tools, Edge Cloud, and other Digital products. They aim to encourage Indian entrepreneurs to achieve global market presence with IP-led innovations.

A significant number of their portfolio companies from YourNest VC Fund II have secured patents and garnered international customers. In addition to monetary investment, YourNest introduces the 'Nurture Capital' philosophy, which creates an ecosystem for supporting young founders, including a team of General & Venture Partners, full-time Employees, and Advisors & Mentors. Their investment strategy is characterized by a three-pronged approach: delivering superior returns, mitigating risks, and executing healthy exits.

YourNest's portfolio includes over 150 entrepreneurs and professionals, a track record of raising significant external capital, creating jobs, and an impressive number of patents filed or granted. An example of their successful investment and exit is with Uniphore, a conversational AI company, which YourNest exited with a substantial valuation increase from its initial investment.
