Investment thesis
Colossa Ventures invests in 'WomenFirst' businesses in India, backing early-stage startups that are founded, co-founded by, or primarily benefit women. The firm is driven by data showing women-led companies are underfunded despite comparable success rates. Through its 3-C framework of Capital, Capability and Confidence, Colossa provides not only funding but also mentorship, market linkages, training and community support to help women entrepreneurs scale. Its maiden Colossa WomenFirst Fund targets disruptive, category-defining, scalable businesses across sectors such as SaaS and deep tech, fintech, healthcare, climate and cleantech, and consumer, aiming to deliver strong financial returns while advancing economic agency for women and a more equitable, sustainable India.
