Investment thesis
Velocity is purpose-built to power the growth of India's digital-first eCommerce and D2C businesses that have a strong online presence and sizable online revenues. It targets ambitious, customer-led founders open to new technology, offering non-dilutive financing products such as term loans, overdrafts and revenue-based financing (up to about Rupees 4 crore in under four days), alongside credit cards, credit lines, shipping, payments, business analytics and AI voice tools. Beyond capital, it provides an ecosystem including a D2C founder community, a portfolio acceleration program, VC partnership access and partner deals, aiming to help brands scale faster, operate smarter and grow sustainably.
