Auxano

Approach

• Use the Pitch To Us form on the site header; the site publishes no other intake route, deadline or response time.
• You can also write to the general contact inbox in the footer.

Fit

• Check you are a technology product or technology-backed service in consumer, enterprise healthcare or deep technology, ideally in FinTech, CleanTech, Lifestyle, Industry 4.0 or HealthTech and Wellness.
• Be ready to show product-market fit, why your team fits the product and market, and a path to exit; it names entry valuation, co-investors and traction as factors.
• Read the portfolio pages first so your note shows where you sit next to companies it already backs.

Auxano is a venture capital firm based in Gurugram, Haryana. On its philosophy page it says it was founded in 2016 and invests in tech-enabled, next-generation businesses, focusing on Seed and pre-IPO stages. It runs two SEBI-registered alternative investment funds through its investment manager, Auxano Capital LLP: the Auxano Entrepreneur Trust, a Category I (Angel) fund, and the Auxano Dawn Fund, a Category II fund.

Stage, sectors and what it looks for

The investment thesis page describes an early-stage bucket that typically includes seed or Series A rounds, where companies have achieved product-market fit and seek capital to start or scale operations. It also backs companies preparing for an initial public offering. It says it looks for startups entering the growth phase after validating their products with early adopters, or moving into the maturity phase. On sectors, it says it focuses on technology products or technology-backed services or processes across consumer, enterprise healthcare and deep technology domains, and lists FinTech, CleanTech, Lifestyle, Industry 4.0 and HealthTech and Wellness.

Its stated checks are product-market fit, product-founder fit, founder-market fit and path to exit, where it says factors considered include entry valuation, co-investors and traction. It also sorts companies into category creators, market creators and market leaders.

Portfolio and support

The portfolio page lists companies including Adloggs, Aereo, LoanKuber, MProfit, Mugafi, Private Circle, Stockal and Wiom, some marked as part-exits or exits. Founder testimonials on the site describe help with introductions, market intelligence and sessions for portfolio companies, and the team says its combined experience is 100+ years.

How to reach them

The site header carries a Pitch To Us button that opens a hosted intake form, and the Investment Thesis page has a Raise Funds with Us call to action. The footer lists a general contact inbox on its own domain and an office at Address One by Baani, Golf Course Road, Sector 56, Gurugram. The team page lists partners, a principal, a finance and compliance officer and an analyst.

What the site does not say

Auxano publishes no application window, deadline, cohort or eligibility checklist, and no response time. Treat it as an investor you approach with a pitch through its form, not a programme you apply to.
