FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Powai Lake Ventures.

Do you invest only in Powai-based startups?
No. We love the Powai hustle, but we back founders across India (and occasionally beyond) who share the same spirit of frugality and boldness.
What is your average cheque size?
Our initial commitment ranges from INR 50 L to 2 Cr, with follow-on reserves for the winners.
Which sectors excite you the most?
We are sector-agnostic. Historically we’ve leaned into consumer internet, SaaS and climate tech—but surprise us!
How can I pitch Powai Lake Ventures?
Shoot a short email (no decks) to coffee@powailakeventures.com covering team, market, problem, solution and edge. We reply when intrigued.
Do you lead rounds?
We prefer to co-invest with friendly funds, but occasionally lead if the fit is perfect.
