About Next Star Venture Capital LLP

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Next Star Venture Capital LLP is a Mumbai-based investment firm founded in 2018 that operates primarily as a Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) vehicle. According to the firm, its journey began as a startup that created companies spanning datacenters and software services, growing to over 2,000 employees, and it now channels that operating experience into venture investing, backing and building acquisitions that aim to disrupt industries and improve lives, while dedicating teams and resources to 'architect the NEXT Stars'. It occasionally invites like-minded co-investors into its deals. The firm is small and sector-agnostic, run by a compact team of around three (two partners and a principal). Public disclosure is very limited: its fund size, typical cheque size and a named portfolio are not publicly available, and it should not be confused with similarly named but unrelated firms such as Sorin Investment Management, Next Orbit Ventures or Nu Ventures. This profile is therefore intentionally conservative and would benefit from primary confirmation of strategy and track record.
