LetsVenture

Shanti Mohan is the founder and CEO, with co-founder Sanjay Jha providing strategic direction. The platform itself does not centrally allocate a fund — individual investors select deals. For the LetsVenture Plus curated vehicle, an internal investment committee reviews and approves each inclusion.

The platform draws on a network of local angel collectives, alumni groups from IIT and IIM, partner accelerators, and direct founder inbound. Standardized diligence templates allow a broad set of referrers to submit deals, which the platform then assesses for baseline data completeness before opening to syndicate members.

Neither. It is a regulated online syndication platform for angel investors, akin to a deal-by-deal private-equity marketplace. It operates a curated direct-investment vehicle, but the core model is to facilitate discrete LLC-based rounds that investors self-select.

The platform is built entirely for direct syndicated investments. LPs do not commit to a blind pool. The adjacent vehicle, LetsVenture Plus, does aggregate capital for select direct deals, but the core investor experience is to build a self-directed portfolio of individual startup SPVs.

Seed through Series A, with occasional pre-Series A bridge rounds. The minimum ticket size is typically around INR 20 lakhs ($25,000), designed for angel-stage participation rather than institutional-led growth rounds.

There is no formal exclusion list, but deal flow has historically concentrated in technology-enabled businesses — enterprise SaaS, fintech, healthtech, consumer internet, and mobility. Capital-intensive industrial or infrastructure plays rarely appear on the platform given the angel-scale check sizes.

In 2023, the firm launched a secondary-deal capability designed to give early angel backers on the platform an exit path before company liquidity. The matching engine surfaces shares available from existing investors to approved buyers on the platform, helping shorten hold periods and recycle capital.
