Multiply Ventures

Multiply Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on the Indian consumer market, founded by Raveen Sastry. The firm invests at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages, writing cheques between $100,000 and $500,000, making it well-suited for founders raising their first institutional round or a structured seed round. The core thesis centers on backing consumer-first businesses across D2C, eCommerce, FinTech, Health Tech, and Consumer Internet sectors. Multiply Ventures takes a conviction-driven, founder-centric approach, with the general partner bringing meaningful operator perspective to the table, which translates into practical support beyond capital. For Indian founders building brands, platforms, or products aimed at the domestic consumer, Multiply Ventures is a relevant early conversation to have. Given its stage focus, the firm is best approached when founders have early proof points around product-market fit or strong founder-market conviction. Outreach through LinkedIn or warm introductions from the broader Indian startup ecosystem is advisable. Founders should be prepared to articulate their understanding of the Indian consumer and a clear path to building a differentiated, scalable business.
