PointOne Capital

PointOne Capital writes pre-seed cheques into tech ventures that have reached MVP, beta, or proof-of-concept stage — the first equity round beyond friends-and-family capital. The firm leads or co-invests with an average ticket size of $100,000.

The firm operates a portfolio engagement model built around follow-on fundraise preparation, VC network connections, product-market fit inputs, and hiring assistance through partners and recruiter networks. It also facilitates client introductions via its LP and partner base.

The firm focuses on tech-led and deep-tech businesses without publicly restricting itself to specific verticals. Its website references generalist technology ventures, with an emphasis on companies built around defensible engineering stacks rather than business-model innovation alone.

PointOne Capital operates as a micro VC that owns the pre-seed institutional gap — a niche where average cheques are $100,000 and the value proposition leans heavily on founder support and Series A introductions rather than deploying large fund vehicles. The firm has not expanded into growth-stage or sector-focused fund families.

The firm is led by two founding partners, Mihir Jha and Ravish Ratnam. They are the only named investment principals on the firm's website, with no additional investment committee or partnership structure disclosed.
