Z47

Z47, formerly Matrix Partners India, is one of the most established venture capital firms operating in the Indian ecosystem, with a portfolio that spans some of the country's most recognizable technology and consumer brands. The firm rebranded to Z47 to better reflect its expanding investment mandate across both India and Europe, signaling a broader geographic thesis while retaining its deep India roots. Z47 typically leads or co-leads rounds at Series A through Series B+ stages, writing cheques in the range of five to fifty million dollars, making it most relevant for founders who have demonstrated early traction and are looking to accelerate growth. The firm has particular conviction in SaaS, FinTech, AI-driven businesses, and consumer internet, and tends to back founders building for large, underserved market opportunities. Z47 partners are known for being hands-on, bringing network access, hiring support, and strategic guidance beyond just capital. Founders who have previously met with Matrix Partners India will find continuity in the team and investment philosophy under the Z47 brand. If your startup is at a growth inflection point and operates in one of their core sectors, Z47 is a strong institutional partner to engage.
