Investment thesis

Surge, operated by Peak XV, is a seed-stage program that combines capital with hands-on, full-stack support and a founder community. It invests between $500K and $5M in seed capital, using an open architecture that welcomes co-investors. The program embeds operators to support founders across functions such as hiring, product, policy, communications, engineering, go-to-market, and global expansion. Beyond capital, Surge offers sector-specific communities, always-on learning, and access to global technology leaders, positioning itself as a full-stack partner for founders going from zero to one.
