Warmup Ventures

Before you pitch

• Warmup Ventures is a venture investor and takes equity. It is not a grant or an incubator, and it publishes no application window.
• It says it invests at seed and pre-seed stage, ideally as the first investment after the founders. If you have raised several institutional rounds, it is probably not the right fit.
• It is sector agnostic but technology focused.

How to reach them

• Use the Pitch Us button on the website.
• The terms page lists a partner inbox for questions.

What they say they look for

• Green signals indicating a high quality team.
• Founders who want help with investor intros, go-to-market and key hires.

What to expect

• The site gives no timeline or process steps, so ask what it needs in your first message.
• Read the News and Insights section to see the companies it has backed.

Warmup Ventures is a founders-led, sector agnostic, technology focused micro-VC fund. It says it invests in seed and pre-seed stage companies, with an emphasis on what it calls green signals that point to a high quality team. Its contact address in the site terms is in Jaipur, Rajasthan; the home page itself names no city.

Who Warmup Ventures backs

The fund says it prefers to be the first investment after the founders, and writes co-investment cheques alongside other investors. It is sector agnostic but wants technology at the centre of the business. Its team says it has walked the entrepreneurial path itself, scaling businesses, raising capital and building teams, and that its founding team has made 80+ investments on earlier platforms.

How it works with founders

Warmup says it brings more than capital: introductions to the next round of investors, connections with CEOs of large tech companies and startups for business synergies, help planning go-to-market and help with a key tech hire. It also points to its network of Limited Partners, who are startup founders, investment professionals and senior business and product leaders, as a source of firsthand advice.

Funds and structure

The site lists Warmup Ventures Fund 1, with a vintage of August 2023, and Warmup Ventures II, with a vintage of September 2025. The fund says Warmup Ventures Trust is a SEBI registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund. The investment manager is Warmup Ventures LLP.

How to pitch

This is an investor, not a programme with an application window, so there is no deadline or cohort. Every page of the site carries a Pitch Us button that leads to a community page. The terms page also lists a partner inbox for questions and grievances. The site does not publish a stage-by-stage process or a decision timeline, so ask in your first note what it needs from you.

What it publishes

A News and Insights section links press coverage of the fund and its portfolio companies, which is the best way to see the kind of company it backs.
