All In Capital

Choose your route in

• There are three ways to reach the fund: the application form, an introduction from a portfolio founder, or a conversation with a founder angel from its AllStars network.
• The fund says that if a founder angel from its network backs you, it will most likely invest alongside them.
• The fund backs pre-seed and seed stage founders in India. It says it is never too early to reach out, so a paper-plan stage company is welcome to try.

If you use the form

• The form has 5 sections and the fund suggests filling it in one sitting. It takes around 10 mins.
• Be detailed. The fund says it uses the form to skip the basics on the first call and have a deeper conversation.
• The fund says it will reply within three days and give a yes or no within 10 days of submission.
• If the fund does not like the market or the stage, it says it will not set up a call.

Before you pitch

• Read the portfolio stories on the site to see the kind of companies it has backed.
• Prepare your narrative. The fund says it helps founders craft theirs, but a clear one helps the first screen.
• The site does not publish a role email address. Use the form or a warm introduction rather than guessing at personal addresses.

All In Capital is a pre-seed and seed venture fund that backs Indian founders. It describes itself as a community of, and for, founders, and says it invests in Indian startups through a network of founders who help it find and support the next generation of founders. Its address is in Mulund West, Mumbai, Maharashtra. The fund was founded by Kushal Bhagia and Aditya Singh and says the fund has partnered with 150+ founders so far.

Who it backs

The fund calls itself a pre-seed and seed stage fund. On its apply page it says a founder could be at a paper-plan stage, have an MVP built, or already have a functional product with paying customers or active users, and that it is never too early to reach out. It invests in Indian startups and does not list a sector focus. If a founder is raising a small round, it says it can lead or co-lead and help fill the rest through warm introductions. For a larger round, it says it will be among the first to commit and will help the founder find a lead investor. It says it usually invests on a convertible note with simple, founder-friendly terms, so money can reach the bank account in under a week from the decision to invest.

What founders get besides the cheque

All In Capital lists a community of 100+ founders to ask for help or find early users, warm introductions to funds in India and abroad, help shaping the company narrative, and access to credits from 50+ products and services such as AWS, Freshworks, Notion and Zoho. After an investment, it typically forms a group chat with the venture partners who invested, the fund team and the founding team. Portfolio stories on the site name Broccoli AI, Magma, NewMe and PierSight.

How to pitch

The apply page describes three ways in. The first is to reach out to one of the founder angels in its AllStars network, who it calls Venture Partners. It says that if you convince one of them to invest in your startup, it will most likely invest alongside. The second is to ask a portfolio founder to introduce you. The third is the application form. The fund says it sees 500+ deals every month and uses the form so each founder gets a fair look before any call. The form has 5 sections and takes around 10 mins to fill in. The fund says it will reply within three days and give a yes or no within 10 days of submission.

Who runs it

The two founding partners are Kushal Bhagia and Aditya Singh. The team page also lists a vice president, an analyst and a finance lead.
