FOCUS :
Inventus Capital Partners is an early-growth venture firm investing in technology-powered companies participating in the emerging Indian economy or new global markets.   We formed Inventus with the ongoing support of U.S. Venture Partners, a leading early stage venture firm since 1981, and commit our experience, networks, mentoring and resources in both India and Silicon Valley to help build companies defining and dominating high growth markets.   We back entrepreneurs, and are particularly interested in businesses leveraging consumer internet and media, software-as-a-service, embedded software, mobile technology, and knowledge-based services to address a variety of attractive end markets in India, and across the globe.

TRACK RECORD :
Over the past fifteen years as venture investors with our prior firms, we've backed over 90 companies founded by Indians or Indo-Americans from operations in Silcon Valley and/or India.   We typically lead the first venture round with $1M to $2M and invest up to $10M as businesses grow.   To date our companies have completed dozens of successful IPOs or mergers resulting in the creation of over $30 billion in aggregate wealth and market value for the entrepreneur founders and shareholders.

OPERATING EXPERIENCE :
We understand the challenges new companies face, first hand.   We work as a team across the Indo-US corridor to help our entrepreneurs better capitalize on their ideas in the fast moving local and global markets.   Before becoming venture investors, each of us spent significant time leading and building world-class companies from their early beginnings.   As active board members, we help entrepreneurs apply the lessons learned from our own entrepreneurial, operating and venture experiences in the sectors where we invest.
