Vicus Ventures

Vicus Ventures is an India-focused micro VC that partners with founders at the earliest and most formative stages of company building. Operating at Pre-Seed and Seed, the fund is designed for founders who need a conviction-driven early backer before they are ready for larger institutional capital. Their cheque sizes of $50k to $300k reflect a deliberate strategy to enter early and build meaningful relationships with founders from day one. Vicus is sector-aware across SaaS, FinTech, Consumer, and B2B, which covers a broad surface area of the Indian startup ecosystem and suggests the team is willing to back diverse business models as long as the founder quality and technology angle are compelling. Their stated thesis of backing exceptional founders at the intersection of technology and scale signals that team and execution potential weigh heavily in their investment decisions, often above market size alone. For Indian founders raising their first or second round, Vicus Ventures can be a practical first call, particularly if you are building a scalable, technology-led business and need a partner willing to engage before traction is fully established.
