About

Gemba Capital is a Bengaluru-based micro venture capital firm established in 2018, focusing on pre-seed and seed-stage investments in India. The firm is dedicated to supporting founders with a strong ambition to build world-class companies. Gemba Capital's investment philosophy centers on three key criteria: the founder's ability, passion, and vision; the market's size, competition, and growth potential; and the product's need, differentiation, and value.

The firm primarily invests in sectors such as fintech, consumer tech, and B2B platforms, with a particular emphasis on 'platform-first' businesses that can create compounding moats through ecosystem creation, network effects, or the ability to stack value-add layers. Notable portfolio companies include Plum, Grip Invest, Wint Wealth, Strata, Navadhan, Zuper, Showroom, Smartstaff, ClickPost, and LightFury. Gemba Capital's second fund, launched in July 2024, has a target corpus of ₹250 crore, including a green shoe option of ₹50 crore, aiming to invest in approximately 30 early-stage startups over the next three years.
