Suvan Ventures

Radhesh Kanumury is the sole named founder and investor. He sources, screens, and leads all deals. His track record includes over 20 investment leads and 5 exits at his prior firm Arka Venture Labs, where he was the primary decision-maker.

Sourcing runs through Kanumury's 18-year IBM network and his prior role running the Global Entrepreneur Program for India/South Asia. He has interviewed over 3,500 B2B SaaS founders, and the firm's blog suggests a publicly open application channel combined with referrals from limited partners, angels, and system integrators.

Suvan Ventures is a venture capital firm. It raised external capital structured as a fund rather than operating as a single-family office.

Suvan only participates in direct early-stage deals. The firm writes $200–400K initial checks into operating companies, not fund-of-fund commitments.

The firm invests $200,000 to $400,000 initially, using convertible notes, SAFEs, or preferred stock. It reserves capacity to participate in follow-on rounds and commits to socializing the round among its limited partners, VCs, and angels to help portfolio companies close.

The firm invests in AI-first B2B SaaS spanning horizontal infrastructure (AI/ML, IoT, cloud, blockchain, AR/VR, DevOps) and vertical applications in FinTech, healthcare, retail, mobility, supply chain, and future-of-work. Its thesis excludes consumer-facing and non-SaaS technology companies.

Suvan enters at pre-seed and seed. Founders must have a minimum viable product; revenue-generating companies are preferred. The firm explicitly states it looks for post-MVP startups ready for US or Europe go-to-market execution.
