BLUME VENTURE INVESTMENT MANAGER LLP

Thesis

Blume Ventures is an Indian venture capital firm founded in 2010, headquartered in Mumbai, with a strong focus on early-stage, technology-driven startups. The firm invests in Seed and Series A rounds, with check sizes ranging from $200,000 to $2.5 million for seed and $0.5 million to $4 million for Series A. Their investment thesis is market-driven, focusing on B2C opportunities in India and B2B opportunities for global scaling. They back transformational companies and founders with Indian origins who aim to conquer global markets, explicitly avoiding international startups without a strong Indian connection. Key sectors include Enterprise Applications/SaaS, Consumer, Fintech, Healthcare/HealthTech, ClimateTech/DeepTech, EdTech, Commerce & Consumer Brands, AI/ML, Industrial, and Media, Entertainment & Gaming. Blume Ventures also operates a 'Discovery Program' for smaller checks in pre-seed/seed rounds, often supporting founders with existing relationships. As of October 2025, Fund V had an initial close of $175 million, targeting $250-275 million. The firm's total AUM exceeds $800 million across five core funds and other vehicles. They prefer warm introductions for pitches.
