About

Founded in 2013 by Shanti Mohan and Sanjay Jha, LetsVenture has enabled over 8,000 angel investors to discover and invest in early-stage Indian startups across sectors including deep tech, SaaS, fintech, consumer, healthcare, edtech, and climate tech. The LV Angel Fund is structured as a Category I AIF (Angel Fund), allowing individual angel investors to pool capital into SEBI-regulated vehicles to invest in early-stage startups. LetsVenture is headquartered in Bengaluru (HSR Layout) and operates the angel fund alongside its online deal platform, which has facilitated over USD 1 billion in investments across 700+ startups including notable portfolio companies such as Unacademy, Razorpay, Groww, BharatPe, Teachmint, Stanza Living, Licious, and Slice. The SEBI contact person is Sanjay Kumar Jha (Co-Founder), whose registered address is at M303, Purva Fairmont, 24th Main, 25th Cross, Sector 2, HSR Layout, Bangalore 560102 — consistent with LetsVenture's HSR Layout operational base.

Investment Philosophy

LetsVenture's investment philosophy is built around democratising access to early-stage startup investment for angel investors in India. The platform enables angels to discover curated deal flow, co-invest alongside experienced lead investors, and access SEBI-regulated pooled structures (AIFs) to invest as small as INR 25 lakh in individual deals. The LV Angel Fund operates as an 'angel fund' category under SEBI's AIF Regulations, enabling collective investment into early-stage startups with lower minimum commitments than standard Cat I/II AIFs. LetsVenture applies a data-driven, community-led due diligence approach, leveraging its network of experienced operators, founders, and investors for deal validation. The platform is sector-agnostic but shows particular depth in SaaS, deep tech, consumer tech, fintech, and climate-adjacent sectors. Its network of over 8,000 investors acts as a distributed intelligence layer for identifying and validating founders across India.
