About

Prime Venture Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Bengaluru, India, founded in 2012 by serial entrepreneurs Sanjay Swamy, Shripati Acharya, and Amit Somani. The firm focuses on building disruptive product companies in India, addressing a significant gap in the startup ecosystem by combining firsthand entrepreneurial experience, operating expertise, and meaningful capital.

Since its inception, Prime Venture Partners has raised multiple funds, with the most recent being Fund V, a $100 million fund announced in March 2025. This fund aims to support early-stage startups across sectors such as fintech, artificial intelligence, SaaS, and digital India initiatives.

The firm plans to invest between $2.5 million and $3 million in approximately 16 to 18 startups, with a portion reserved for follow-on investments in larger companies within its portfolio.

Prime Venture Partners has a rich portfolio of category-creating companies, including Quizizz, MyGate, MFine, PlanetSpark, Dozee, NiYO, Sunstone Eduversity, KredX, WheelsEye, and more. The firm's approach emphasizes being the first institutional investor, maintaining a high-conviction and deep-support investing model in early-stage technology startups.

The firm's partners actively work with founders on organization design, team building, product reviews, go-to-market planning, metrics definition and tracking, PR and finance support, future fundraising, and exit planning. This hands-on approach has delivered significant value to founders throughout their journey, particularly during the early, formative stages of the company.

Prime Venture Partners' disciplined investment approach and commitment to supporting visionary founders have established it as a prominent player in India's venture capital landscape.
