The firm adopts a sector-agnostic investment approach, focusing on consumer, financial, and healthcare sectors.

As of August 2024, Whiteboard Capital closed its second fund at ₹300 crore (approximately $40 million), doubling its initial target of ₹150 crore. The firm plans to invest in approximately 50 companies, with a significant focus on follow-on investments within its existing portfolio.

Notable investments include fintech companies like CRED, Jupiter, and Dezerv, as well as consumer brands such as Damensch and NatHabit. The firm has also ventured into the cryptocurrency space, investing in projects like Crypso and Nume Crypto.
