The fund had its first close from large institutional partners from across US, Europe and the Middle East.

Mohan Kumar, Managing Partner, Avataar highlights, “This is a great vintage to invest in SaaS—the unrealistic hype in the market is gone, favoring founders with superior execution and profitable business models.” In general, it is thrilling to see that Indian SaaS companies are able to expand in the global market far more efficiently.
“The new fund’s size may bump up to $400 million. The investment cheque size will range between $15 million and $50 million. We have already closed one deal with this new fund, which was $15 million. Two more investments are in pipelines,” Kumar further added. The second fund is expected to back 10 to 15 new companies.
Avataar – the growth stage VC firm is committed to continue investing in B2B and SaaS startups. The first fund backed some of India’s top SaaS companies such as Amagi and ElasticRun and other global leader such as RateGain and Capillary Tech!
