Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Micelio Fund?

Shreyas Shibulal serves as Founder and Director of Micelio Mobility, under which the Micelio Fund operates. The firm has not publicly disclosed a separate investment committee or additional investing partners. Shibulal’s embedded-systems background and hands-on founding of two operating companies, Numeros Motors and Entoo, suggest investment decisions are tightly coupled to his technical and operational lens.

How does Micelio Fund source deals?

Micelio sources primarily through the community it built — a network of over 100 startups, battery manufacturers, OEMs, fleet operators, and charging-infrastructure companies. The Micelio Discovery Studio, which offers EV testing and validation services in partnership with ARAI, functions as a technical funnel that surfaces startups early in their prototyping phase. This gives the fund a pre-diligence signal long before those companies raise publicly.

Does Micelio Fund participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

All publicly described deployment activity points to direct equity investments in early-stage clean mobility startups. The firm has not disclosed any fund-of-funds commitments, LP positions in external venture funds, or secondaries activity. The $20 million seed fund is deployed directly into companies developing technology across the electric-vehicle value chain.

How is Micelio Fund related to Numeros Motors and Entoo?

Shreyas Shibulal founded both Numeros Motors, a two-wheeler OEM targeting commercial applications, and Entoo, an all-electric last-mile logistics operator. These are separate operating companies, not portfolio holdings of Micelio Fund. Their existence creates a close operational feedback loop — real-world fleet data and manufacturing experience inform the fund’s view on component-level and infrastructure startups.
