About Panthera Peak

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Panthera Peak is an early-stage micro VC based in India that backs technology founders at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages. The firm writes cheques ranging from $50,000 to $300,000, making it a relevant first institutional capital partner for founders who are building their initial product, finding early traction, or assembling a core team. Panthera Peak focuses on four core verticals: SaaS, Consumer, FinTech, and AI, reflecting the firm's conviction in software-driven business models and the continued digitisation of the Indian economy. As a micro VC, Panthera Peak typically moves faster than larger institutional funds and can engage meaningfully with founders at a stage when the company may not yet have significant revenue or a fully formed team. Founders approaching Panthera Peak should come prepared with a clear articulation of the problem they are solving, the technology differentiation they bring, and their go-to-market thinking for the Indian or global market. Given the early-stage mandate, the team and founder quality tend to be strong evaluation criteria alongside the market opportunity.

The firm writes cheques ranging from $50,000 to $300,000, making it a relevant first institutional capital partner for founders who are building their initial product, finding early traction, or assembling a core team.
