“YC startups are among the world’s most sought-after companies, with allocations in their funding rounds being notoriously competitive. We will provide Indian investors with the ability to invest in the Top 10% of YC startups (which are themselves 2% of all the applicants who compete to get accepted into YC) with this unique partnership. At LetsVenture, we have constantly sourced exclusive allocations in the most competitive deals for our Premium Members and LV Titans Family Office Members. Now, our investors have access to the top global startups.” said Shanti Mohan, Founder, and CEO of LetsVenture.
LV's Partnership with Pioneer Fund
Pioneer Fund has created a proprietary platform. This platform enables collaboration between 170 YC alumni founders to identify, diligence, and support the top 10% of companies of each YC batch. These YC alumni are themselves all entrepreneurs with deep expertise across sectors and technologies. The alumni founders also serve as mentors to each new batch. Hence, we will curate the companies that are most likely to achieve break-out growth.
“Pioneer Fund is excited to partner with LetsVenture” said Jared Heyman, co-founder and General Partner at Pioneer Fund, “to broaden our reach and bring our unique Y Combinator connections to Indian investors. LetsVenture has relationships at the highest level of India’s business and government communities. We can leverage this to help our portfolio companies grow in that exciting region.”
“Over the last four years, Indian investors have discovered the most competitive investment opportunities across the country through LetsVenture. With this partnership they will now access the most competitive deals in Silicon Valley. It is the most mature startup eco-system in the world.” added Shanti.
