Your Nest Venture Capital

A company that boldly supported genuine deep-tech innovations long before it became trendy: YourNest Venture Capital.  

Established in 2011 and based in Gurugram and Bengaluru, YourNest has gradually become India's leading early-stage, patentable DeepTech expert.  

The Investment Thesis: "Nurture Capital" :

YourNest doesn't just write checks; they are deeply committed to what they term Nurture Capital. They typically invest during the Seed and Pre-Series A stages with amounts ranging from $500k to $1.5M, guided by a philosophy that emphasizes:  

• IP-Led Moats: A strong preference for deep technical barriers and patentable innovations.  

• The "Challengineer" Founder: Supporting brilliant, tech-focused founders addressing complex, global infrastructure challenges.  

• Patient & Continuous Capital: Creating long-term structures to shield high-potential startups from early or compelled market exits.  
  

Key Sectors of Focus :

YourNest’s involvement in pure deep tech reached an impressive 95% in their latest Fund III:  

• AI & Quantum Computing: Enhancing industrial processes and high-performance computing (e.g., QpiAI).

• Robotics & IoT: Advanced hardware addressing industrial and consumer challenges (e.g., Miko, Leanworx).  

• HealthTech & Mobility: Innovations in energy storage, rapid EV networks, and touchless medical monitoring (e.g., Exponent Energy, Dozee).  
  

Major June 2026 Milestone: The Continuum Move :

YourNest has captured recent financial headlines with two significant accomplishments:  

• ₹400 Crore Continuation Fund: The firm announced the final close of YourNest Continuum Fund I (anchored by HDFC AMC Select FOF I) to reinforce its top-performing scale assets including Exponent Energy, Miko, Dozee, and Opkey.
  

• Fund I Wind-Up: Their inaugural 2012 fund officially concluded, providing an impressive 3.3x DPI (Distributed to Paid-In Capital) multiple to its investors—a rare achievement of real liquidity in the ecosystem.  
  

The Strategic Edge  

Under the leadership of Managing Director Sunil Goyal along with Girish Shivani and Sanjay Pande, YourNest adopts an entrepreneurial, operator-first strategy. They offer comprehensive, hands-on support in HR, global market strategies, and intellectual property management, ensuring companies are built "strong on the inside" before expanding globally.
