About the firm
A venture firm built around founders, not funds.
Geecko Row Ventures was founded on a simple conviction: enduring companies are built by partners who show up between board meetings — not just at them.
Our story
We started Geecko Row in Mumbai with a small fund and a long list of founders we wanted to back. Over the years we've grown into a $50M institutional firm with 100+ portfolio companies — but the operating model hasn't changed.
We're a small, hands-on team that writes early conviction cheques and stays close through the long compounding years that follow. We don't chase logos, fashion, or consensus. We invest in founders we'd want to work for.
Invest early
From pre-seed through Series B, we lead or co-lead with conviction. Cheques typically $250K–$5M, with reserves to follow the best companies.
Stay close
Our partners take a small number of boards each year. We protect time so we can be useful when it matters: hiring, fundraising, hard conversations.
Help build
Through our platform team and operating mentor network, founders get warm intros, recruiter support, GTM advice, and policy guidance.
Be honest
We aim to give founders the kind of feedback they'd give themselves at their best — direct, calibrated, and on their side.
How we help startups grow.
