Prime Venture Partners is launching its fifth fund, a $100 million initiative aimed at early-stage Indian startups, targeting sectors like fintech, AI, and global SaaS. The fund plans to support 16-18 startups, initially investing $2 million to $4 million per company, with potential follow-up investments up to $12 million. Deployment will begin in the second half of 2025, as over 80% of the fund’s capital has already been committed. The firm emphasizes a disciplined investment approach, prioritizing sustainable growth over rapid expansion, amidst a rise in early-stage funding despite current market challenges.
