Merisis Venture Partners

Merisis Venture Partners was established by a team of former investment bankers and operators who saw an opportunity to bridge early-stage Indian startups with institutional capital (public record). The firm’s founding partners include individuals with backgrounds at firms such as Goldman Sachs and Kotak Mahindra, though specific named principals are not widely advertised. The firm invests across enterprise software, fintech, digital health, and consumer technology, typically leading or co-leading seed and Series A rounds. Merisis often structures deals as direct equity investments and has been known to participate in syndicates with other local venture firms. Its portfolio includes companies like Slice (now part of North East Small Finance Bank) and ZipLoan, though exact holding periods and current positions are not always publicly updated. The firm does not disclose total assets under management or team size publicly. No recent operational events or new fund closes have been reported in the last 24 months. What distinguishes Merisis is its dual-office structure spanning India and the US, unusual for an early-stage Indian venture firm. Succession and governance details remain opaque given the limited public disclosure.
