Our raison d'être is to find long-term large-scale permanent transitions to our way of life to tackle the climate crisis. We only invest in enterprises that actively contribute new solutions to tackling the climate crisis and entrepreneurs who are working on some of these hard challenges that are not finding support from mainstream investors.
- If you are here because you are disillusioned by what the traditional venture capital firms have to offer as climate investments, we would love to speak with you.
- If you have a desire to support STEM invention and prosperity but not at the cost of nature or the suffering of the marginalized, we would love to speak with you.
- If you are a technocrat, who has been there and created an amazing engineering business, providing employment opportunities and investing in R&D, we would love for us and our entrepreneurs to benefit from your experience beyond capital, please do reach out to us!
Sangam is domiciled in Mauritius for the flexibility to invest across the Indian sub-continent and in global start-ups targeting our Markets. Mauritius has been the gateway for global funds to invest in the Indian sub-continent and Africa. We picked Mauritius as the domicile for its strong experience of supporting fund management businesses and the flexibility it provides for fund structures and strategy, like open-ended funds and the Protected Cell Company, over what were available under Indian regulation at the time
We see too many investors lament that there are not enough investment ready start-ups while start-ups complain that investors keep waiting and watching for the start-ups to become investment ready. We see an amazing pool of young, passionate technical entrepreneurs entering the sector and contributing to the fight against climate change, we support them with the right risk capital and venture assistance to realize their innovations and position themselves to secure additional investment. We are in-effect fighting the streetlight effect (see below)
The streetlight effect, or the drunkard's search principle
We proactively source deals based on thesis deep dives by the team into specific problem spaces where we cold-call start-up founders or use our networks to find the most compelling start-ups. When we feel that the thesis might be nascent in the region, we run incubation and acceleration programs to build a pipeline of potential start-ups through our in-house incubator, AIC-Sangam. In such cases, we might get start-ups that have been significantly de-risked by the incubation team’s work with them over a period of 3–9 months before we invest. We also get significant inbound deal flow from the venture community, multiple angel investors, and a network of incubators and accelerators that we work closely with.
