Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.
V3 Ventures is the India-focused venture arm backed by Verlinvest, a Belgian family-owned investment group with a long history of backing consumer-oriented businesses globally. In India, V3 Ventures operates at the Pre-Series A stage, writing cheques in the USD 1 to 5 million range for startups building at the intersection of consumer behaviour and technology. Their portfolio reflects a deliberate thesis around habit-forming consumer products and platforms, with investments spanning audio content (Kuku FM), health tech (Eka Care), and e-commerce enablement (GoKwik). The sectors they actively track include D2C, FinTech, Health Tech, Gaming, CleanTech, Creator Economy, and Travel Tech, making them a strong fit for founders building capital-efficient consumer businesses with clear distribution logic. Given Verlinvest's heritage in consumer investing, founders who can articulate brand equity, retention, and a path to sustainable margins tend to resonate well. Prateek is the primary point of contact within the team for Indian opportunities, and warm introductions through the existing portfolio or ecosystem connections are likely the most effective path to engagement.
