Investment thesis
Early-stage investor backing contrarian India-focused founders at pre-seed and seed.
WEH Ventures is a sector-agnostic seed-stage fund that invests in early-stage startups looking to raise pre-seed, seed, and pre-Series A rounds. The fund's thesis focuses on backing Indian founders building products for local language content platforms, fintech, consumer technology, and rural/semi-urban markets. Rohit Krishna and co-founder Deepak Gupta provide hands-on guidance and board support through Series A before stepping back to allow larger investors to lead subsequent rounds. The fund has achieved strong portfolio outcomes, with over 60% of companies raising Series B or C funding
