Stories
Yash Desai, Manish Shara
We approached Miten when Onecode was literally an idea on paper. He worked with us through the initial phase and without him the fundraise wouldn’t have happened. In addition to Aakrit’s practical operator knowledge, they truly are “angels” for the Indian startup ecosystem.

Given my successful past association with both Miten and Aakrit, they were one of the first few people I called when I decided to start again. Their background as successful entrepreneurs and operators gives them a natural tendency to think entrepreneur first. Additionally good business instincts and a pulse for trends positions them well to give ideas and insights which can unlock early stage growth. I am grateful to have them on my cap table again and will encourage all entrepreneurs to do the same.

Miten & Aakrit were one of the first angels to back us. More than investors, they are advisors who have helped across fundraising, hiring, GTM and in general many day to day Q&A while building Ayoconnect. Always available when we need them!
Hitesh Kakrani, Dr Jatin Kakrani
Aakrit was literally one of our first believers. He has been a guiding light through the journey of building Smiles, and one of my first calls when stuck with something. The harder and more sensitive the problem, the more I tend to call on Aakrit & Miten.

Aakrit & Miten come with deep experiences in building as well as investing in early stage businesses. Investors who have been operators themselves are rare finds, and they stand strong with operators while they figure out. Conversations with them offer rich practical perspectives, I fondly remember my chat with Aakrit where he was telling me why good HR and finance folks should be every founders first few hires! If they come and offer you money, take it.
We love working with ambitious founders who are building technology companies with unbounded market & roadmap potential.
Our Values
Frequently Asked Questions
If you are in the -1 to 0 stage of life and are actively trying to figure out which idea you want to peruse, you can be a part of the peercheque origins program or you can join jampad to brainstorm on ideas with high quality peers.
Alternatively, if you’re already in the fund raising mode, we partner with select entrepreneurs who are not a part of our program. We write cheques up to Rs 4Cr in the pre-seed/ seed stage.
Inception stage investing isn’t obvious and it’s an emergent process. It requires time. It’s centered around the potential and capability of a person to figure out. We understand the chaos of this process and partner with future founders to help them build their life’s work.
