Former Titan Capital’s partner Bipin Shah launched micro VC firm Zeropearl
With a distinct and founder-centric investment approach, Bipin Shah, a former managing partner at Titan Capital, has announced the opening of his new micro-VC firm, Zeropearl. Zeropearl’s “founder only” thesis is the focus of Shah’s LinkedIn post.
The company will be the first major backer of startups, spearheading investments at the friends & family or pre-seed stage. Though sector-neutral, Zeropearl leans more toward the SaaS/GenAI and consumer (D2C/B2C) sectors.
Zeropearl allows pre-revenue investments for SaaS companies, but consumer goods must generate at least Rs 1 lakh in revenue each month.
Within seven days, founders will receive a “No” or “Yes” along with a term sheet as part of the swift and decisive investment process. It is anticipated that investments will close in a month.
With the goal of owning 8% of each portfolio company, Zeropearl intends to make 12–15 carefully chosen investments annually. In addition to providing capital, Zeropearl actively supports the businesses in its portfolio, concentrating on expansion and getting ready for a successful Series A round in 15 months.
Shah stated in a LinkedIn post that even though 80% of investments will follow these rules, the company is still flexible enough to adjust to changes in the market.
