India CXO Fund

Each member of the CXO network commits capital directly into the fund on the same economic terms as the general partner. This alignment removes the agency tension between LP and GP that exists in traditional venture funds. Beyond the capital commitment, CXO members are expected to serve as design partners, reference customers, or advisory board participants for portfolio companies — effectively contributing operating leverage alongside financial capital.

Sourcing runs primarily through the proprietary networks of the member CXOs, who encounter startups when those companies pitch enterprise products into the executives' own organizations. Because CXOs sit inside corporate buying committees, they see vendor selection processes and emerging technology adoption patterns before those become visible to external investors. This creates a sourcing funnel that is structurally difficult for traditional venture funds to replicate.

India CXO Fund focuses on seed through Series B companies, the window in which enterprise startups are securing early reference customers and establishing product-market fit inside large organizations. The CXO network is most valuable at this stage because executive endorsement and early adoption commitments can materially influence subsequent enterprise sales cycles and procurement decisions.

The fund concentrates on enterprise software, fintech infrastructure, digital health platforms, applied artificial intelligence and machine learning tooling, and industrial technology. These are sectors where purchasing decisions involve complex organizational buying behavior that is legible to experienced CXOs but opaque to generalist investors.

The firm's approach to managing conflicts between a CXO's corporate role and portfolio company interests has not been publicly documented. This is a standard diligence item for any practitioner-led fund — allocators should investigate whether the fund maintains information barriers, pre-clearance processes for CXO involvement with specific portfolio companies, or restrictions on CXO participation when a direct competitive relationship exists with the member's employer.
