Alteria Capital

Alteria Capital is one of India's most prominent venture debt funds, offering founders a meaningful alternative to equity financing at the Series A and Series B stages. Unlike traditional equity investors, Alteria provides structured debt instruments that allow founders to extend their runway and fund specific growth initiatives without giving up additional ownership. This makes Alteria particularly attractive for startups that have already raised institutional equity and want to preserve dilution while accelerating on hiring, marketing, or working capital. The fund is sector-agnostic in practice but has demonstrated strong conviction in SaaS, Consumer, FinTech, and D2C businesses, where revenue predictability supports debt underwriting. Cheque sizes typically range from approximately 2 million to 20 million USD, making it suitable for startups at meaningful scale rather than very early-stage companies. Founders approaching Alteria should be prepared to demonstrate clear revenue traction, institutional equity backing, and a defined use of proceeds. The team brings deep experience in structuring venture debt for the Indian ecosystem and is widely regarded as a founder-friendly lender. Portfolio names like Cred, Lenskart, and OYO reflect the calibre of companies Alteria backs.
