Riverwalk Holdings

Riverwalk Holdings is an early-stage venture capital fund with a focus on India, supporting entrepreneurs in the SaaS, fintech, and consumer sectors, and offering a strong cross-border advantage. The fund blends institutional capital with a rich history of operations throughout Asia.

Identity and Mandate:

Riverwalk invests from Seed to Series A, aiming to be a long-term partner rather than a short-term financial backer. Based in Singapore, the fund maintains a strong focus on India, providing its portfolio companies with regional access from the outset.

Sectors and Thesis:

Primary focus: SaaS, fintech, and consumer brands addressing "real-world" problems in India with digital and data-driven strategies.

Stage:

From early traction to early scale—typically supporting companies that have launched, achieved initial product-market fit, and are ready to professionalize and expand.

Geography:

India-centric, with the capability to assist founders in expanding into Southeast Asia by leveraging the Thakral network.

How Riverwalk Helps Founders:

Riverwalk focuses on fundamentals and research-driven investing, offering "patient capital" with a long-term perspective. Founders often commend Riverwalk for its assistance in client development, planning for sustainable growth, and establishing supply chains in new regions.

Portfolio and Impact:

The firm has invested in over 20 early-stage companies, including SpotDraft, Homeville Group, The Ayurveda Experience, Venwiz, Aerem, Bharat Housing Network, and CoffeeIO, across sectors such as AI/ML, clean-tech, consumer, and financial services. Founders describe Riverwalk as a thoughtful, conviction-led partner focused on sustainable growth and building franchises rather than following trends.

By combining a focused SaaS-fintech-consumer thesis with enterprise access and patient capital, Riverwalk Holdings is steadily becoming an essential ally for India's next generation of industry leaders.
