iSeed operates as a bridge connecting Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and expertise to early-stage founders in emerging markets, particularly India and Southeast Asia. The firm believes that the next decade belongs to Indian and Southeast Asian tech founders, and aims to democratize access to capital and operational knowledge from proven Silicon Valley operators. As a micro-fund model, iSeed focuses on volume and early-stage involvement, betting on talented founders who are increasingly building globally-competitive companies rather than merely copying Western models or serving only local markets.
What Sets Them Apart
- Founder-backed capital: Co-founders and Managing Partners of major companies (AngelList, Rippling, Gumroad, Notion, etc.) actively participate as investors and advisors
- Knowledge Council model: Portfolio founders get access to private workshops hosted by world-class operators from leading tech companies
- Silicon Valley bridge: Explicitly positions itself as a connector between US operators and Indian/Southeast Asian founders seeking overseas expansion expertise
- Micro-fund thesis: Focused investment strategy allowing deep engagement with 50+ companies rather than fewer, larger bets
- Regional expansion: Operates dual funds - iSeed (India-focused) and iSeed SEA (Southeast Asia-focused)
- Educational component: Includes resources library and structured founder journey optimization beyond capital provision
