Investment thesis

Better Capital positions itself as a global venture firm that invests in bold innovators at 'day zero' — the earliest possible stage. Its portfolio centers on the Indian ('Bharat') startup ecosystem across fintech, commerce, education, mobility, agritech and gaming. The firm emphasizes backing a large community of founders, having supported 200+ companies and 700+ founders, and highlights early stakes in category-defining companies including two unicorns. Better presents itself as a community of top-tier innovators, providing support to founders through its network, annual letters and content, and participating as an early backer ahead of follow-on investors.
