About Eques Capital
Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
Eques Capital is an Indian venture capital firm that invests across a broad spectrum of early-stage startups, from Pre-Seed all the way through Series A. Their portfolio signals an appetite for both B2B technology plays and consumer-facing businesses, spanning enterprise SaaS, B2B marketplaces, D2C brands, FinTech, Logistics, HealthTech, CleanTech, DeepTech, PropTech, Creator Economy, and ESG-aligned ventures. The firm's cheque size flexibility, ranging from $15,000 to $2,000,000, means they can engage meaningfully with founders at very different stages of capital need, from a founder running early pilots to a startup ready for a structured Seed round. Known portfolio companies include Cusmat in enterprise learning, Rukart in B2B commerce, and Collekto in FinTech-driven debt collections, suggesting they appreciate founders solving real operational inefficiencies in underserved markets. For Indian founders, Eques Capital represents a generalist early-stage partner willing to engage across sectors and ticket sizes, making them worth approaching with a clear problem statement, early traction, and a strong view on the Indian market opportunity.
