Investment thesis
Gemba Capital is a pre-seed and seed stage specialist VC fund in India investing in category creators. It favors simple, scalable ideas that create or expand markets, prioritizing founder qualities like clarity, resilience, and hustle over pedigree. The firm avoids conventional gating on market size, revenue, or competition, and dislikes complex solutions or scaling before a hypothesis is proven. Nothing is considered too early. It has backed full-stack, vertical-focused plays and picks-and-shovels enablers across defense, insurtech, fintech, supply chain, marketplaces, and consumer categories in India.
