Investment thesis

8X Ventures is a deeptech venture capital firm that partners long-term with rare founders building companies rooted in strong scientific and research foundations. It uses fundamental analysis to assess a company's intrinsic value before investing, and supports portfolio companies with domain expertise, a growing track record, and an extensive network. Its first 2022 fund focused on WASH, Industry 4.0, Computing, and Biotech startups across India and SEA, while its second fund is a SEBI-registered CAT II vehicle dedicated to the Indian deeptech sector, targeting 18-20 startups including follow-on investments. The firm positions itself as a partner to founders rather than merely an investor.
