A91 Partners
No summary available yet.
Here's the real deal on A91: They're the 'Sequoia mafia' done right. Founded by three former Sequoia managing partners, they actually know how to build companies, not just write checks. Their $665M third fund closed in April 2025 was one of the largest VC fundraises in India, signaling serious LP confidence. The portfolio speaks volumes - Digit Insurance is expected to go public, and they've had partial exits from Atomberg and spice maker Pushp. What founders love: these guys actually get their hands dirty post-investment and have the operational chops to help scale. What to watch: they're raising average investment sizes to $35-40M with their new fund, so they're moving upmarket and may be less accessible for smaller rounds.
- —Best for: Growth-stage consumer and fintech companies needing operational expertise
- —Watch out for: Moving upmarket with larger check sizes, may not do smaller rounds
- —Known for: Ex-Sequoia team with strong founder relationships and hands-on approach
