About Foundation Capital

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Foundation Capital is a long-standing Silicon Valley venture firm investing primarily at seed and Series A across enterprise software, fintech and related technology markets. The firm has a documented India footprint through deals such as leading the Series B for FundsIndia (Wealth India Financial Services) and through ongoing attention to India-based engineering talent powering global SaaS portfolios. Foundation is not a dedicated India fund — founders should treat it as a global early-stage partner that has written Active India cheques and understands India-for-the-world software talent dynamics. Typical cheques sit in the low-to-mid seven figures depending on stage. Relevance is highest for fintech infrastructure, enterprise AI/security and India-origin founders targeting US enterprise buyers. Diligence follows classic Silicon Valley partnership processes; warm introductions via operators or prior founders help.

The firm has a documented India footprint through deals such as leading the Series B for FundsIndia (Wealth India Financial Services) and through ongoing attention to India-based engineering talent powering global SaaS portfolios.

Notes

Led FundsIndia (Wealth India Financial Services) Series B. Partners have published India SaaS/engineering reflections. Not an India-HQ fund.
