Investment thesis
Zeropearl VC is a pre-seed stage fund built around a founder-only thesis, backing high-potential ideas across D2C brands, B2C, and GenAI/SaaS. It aims to lead a startup's first pre-seed or friends-and-family round on a sector-agnostic basis, backing SaaS/B2C companies pre-revenue and D2C companies with monthly revenue above 1 lakh. The firm emphasizes direct access to decision-makers from the first meeting, board involvement, and one-on-one strategy guidance toward IPO. Its 'gardening' approach offers unconditional portfolio support, targeting Series A within 24 months, and continued support to founders regardless of outcome.
