Yali Capital

Yali Capital is an India-focused micro VC firm operating at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages, writing cheques typically between $100k and $500k. The firm concentrates on SaaS, FinTech, Consumer, AI, and B2B businesses, backing founders at the earliest and most critical stage of company building. Yali Capital's core belief is that exceptional founders are the primary driver of outsized outcomes, and the team positions itself as an early conviction partner rather than a follow-on investor. For founders, this means Yali tends to engage before product-market fit is fully established, making it a relevant first call for teams with a strong founding thesis and early traction. Given its micro VC structure, founders can expect a more concentrated portfolio approach, which often translates into more active engagement on go-to-market strategy, early hiring, and subsequent fundraising. Yali Capital is particularly well-suited for Indian technology founders targeting domestic or global markets who are seeking a knowledgeable, early-stage institutional partner willing to take a position when the opportunity is still being defined.
