About 888 VC

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

888 VC is listed in the VC Dekho investor directory as a Accelerator with activity across Pre-Seed, Seed. Its stated sector focus covers technology and adjacent sectors, which helps founders quickly assess thematic fit before outreach. Cheque sizes vary by opportunity and stage. For Indian founders, the practical use of this profile is stage and sector mapping: if your round and category align, 888 VC is worth including in a shortlist alongside peer funds with similar mandates. Because public detail can be uneven for smaller firms, family offices, and angel networks, treat cheque and stage fields as directional rather than rigid rules. Founders should validate current thesis, geography preference, and lead vs follow behaviour through recent announcements, warm intros, or a concise first email that references a clear product and traction snapshot. Additional context from available notes: SEBI AIF1; IN/AIF1/24-25/1727 Overall, 888 VC is best approached with a crisp narrative on why the opportunity fits its stage and sector lens, and what the next milestone funded capital unlocks. Keep outreach specific: stage, sector, and why now.

Its stated sector focus covers technology and adjacent sectors, which helps founders quickly assess thematic fit before outreach.
