Eximius Ventures has unveiled its second fund, targeting $30 million to fuel pre-seed investments in AI, SaaS, fintech, frontier tech, and consumer technology. The firm plans to invest in 25–30 startups, with $500,000 initial cheques and half the fund reserved for follow-ons to support high-potential companies.
With four investments already made in AI and consumer tech, Eximius is strengthening its position in India’s early-stage ecosystem. The firm stated that Fund II aims to accelerate India’s startup growth by providing both capital and strategic backing to founders securing their first institutional investment.
Founded in 2021, Eximius previously raised $10 million for Fund I, backing 23 startups, including Jar, Finarkein, Vegapay, and Stan. The firm reported that 60% of its portfolio companies have secured multiple up-rounds, delivering an internal rate of return (IRR) exceeding 40%.
Fund II brings in high-net-worth individuals, founder-investors, family offices, and Japanese CVCs as limited partners, positioning Eximius to scale its investments and deepen its impact in India’s AI and tech-driven innovation landscape.
