Unicorn India Ventures’ track record has played a pivotal role in helping several startups gain crucial footing in their industry and attract VC capital, accelerated growth in business and revenues. As a fund, we too have been evolving from a tech focused VC to deep tech and IP driven fund. The evolution has come from seeing the maturity of the Indian startup ecosystem and its strong perception that has built overseas in the last 5 years. As we continue to raise capital for Fund III, we are seeing the benefits of investing in IP driven businesses in which we have invested from Fund II. While tech will be a key leveraging theme for investing in startups as it brings scale to solving real world problems, IP driven and deep tech businesses are where innovations will breed. Our recent partial exit from Sascan Meditech Pvt. Ltd. is a testament to the vision behind our evolving investment thesis. Sascan has developed products that utilise non-invasive methods to detect early signs of oral and cervical cancer. Having invested Rs. 2 crore, we have now seen a 6x return upon the partial exit. We continue to hold a significant stake in the company. We are planning to invest in 25 primarily IP-driven startups focused on global SaaS and digital platforms across climate tech, agritech, spacetech, and the semiconductor ecosystem. #BackedByUnicorn #MedTech #StartupEcosystem #VC #PartialExit Read The Full Article Here - VCCircle - https://bit.ly/4cGRSxB Inc42 Media - https://bit.ly/3Wqv6nR Financial Express (India) - https://bit.ly/4cJx6xk ETHealthWorld - https://bit.ly/3zLJSNg BW Disrupt - https://bit.ly/4f9IwvO Bhaskar Majumdar | Anil Joshi | Bikram Mahajan | Subhash Narayanan
