Jungle Ventures

Co-founders Amit Anand and Anurag Srivastava direct investment strategy as Managing Partners, with the full partnership team making final decisions. The firm promoted Yash Sankrityayan to partner and Head of India in May 2023, formalizing a geographic split between Southeast Asia and India deal teams. Investment committee composition is not publicly detailed, though public record indicates Anand and Srivastava maintain controlling input across the fund family.

Jungle sources through its 'Jungle Program,' which embeds experienced operators — including former C-suite executives from Grab, Gojek, and Amazon — into portfolio companies, creating a referral network among alumni and current portfolio founders. The firm also leverages its early-mover position in Singapore to access company formation in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines before global funds build local relationships. Its concentration in seed and Series A rounds gives it first-look positions on follow-on rounds.

Jungle primarily writes direct checks into company equity rounds, from seed through Series B, with a focus on leading or co-leading Series A rounds. The firm does not publicly operate a fund-of-funds strategy or allocate LP capital to external venture managers. Its structure is a series of closed-end venture capital funds drawing from institutional and family-office limited partners across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Jungle targets seed, Series A, and Series B stages, with its heaviest deployment concentrated at Series A where it often leads or co-leads rounds. The firm can enter at seed for promising founding teams and follows capital through growth rounds via its later-stage fund vehicles. In 2022, its Fund IV closed at $600 million, enabling larger check sizes across the early-stage spectrum.

Jungle does not publish a formal exclusion list, but its confirmed portfolio shows no exposure to controversial sectors such as weapons manufacturing, gambling platforms, or tobacco. The firm focuses on enterprise software, fintech, AI/ML, digital health, mobility, and agri-foodtech. Its lack of exposure to deep science or hardware-intensive verticals suggests a deliberate avoidance of capital-intensive, long-gestation technologies.

Jungle's Jungle Program functions as an internal talent agency, placing senior operators from scaled regional tech companies into portfolio company leadership roles — an embedded resourcing model distinct from the advisory board or external recruiter approach used by peers. The firm reported in 2023 that 80 percent of its portfolio companies utilized this program. Its independent partnership structure, with no spinout from a global institution, gives it decision speed and regional specialization without competing internal priorities.

Jungle regularly co-invests alongside regional and global venture firms, particularly in Series A and B rounds where multiple institutional investors syndicate. Its limited partners do not receive co-investment rights publicly; the firm structures its funds to give the GP discretion over syndicate partners. Jungle has co-invested alongside Sequoia Capital India, Accel, and other regional firms in several portfolio companies per public record.
