Neon Fund

Neon Fund is an early-stage venture firm built specifically to help Indian B2B SaaS and enterprise-AI startups go global, founded by Siddhartha Ahluwalia and Nansi Mishra — hosts of the widely followed Neon Show (formerly the 100x Entrepreneur podcast). The fund evolved from their earlier $10–11 million 100x Entrepreneur vehicle, which backed 40+ SaaS startups including Airmeet, Astra Security, CloudSEK, InFeedo and SpotDraft. Neon's third fund stands at $25 million and a fourth fund of $50 million is being raised. It invests at pre-seed and seed, writing cheques of roughly $500K to $1 million, and positions itself as a hands-on go-to-market partner for the US market — helping portfolio companies with demand generation, outbound sales, branding and hiring, with the explicit goal of reaching $10 million in ARR within three to five years. The fund is structured as a Delaware limited partnership operating across the US and India, and its LP base includes CXOs from Amazon, Microsoft and HP, plus prominent SaaS founders and investors like Blume Founders Fund and Nexus's Sandeep Singhal. Recent portfolio companies include Requestly (acquired by BrowserStack), Highperformr, Zepic and Merlin AI. About half its bets back second-time founders, the rest first-timers with strong revenue focus.
