Our story

Built by operators, run on conviction.

Soonicorn Ventures was started by founders who have backed companies, built them, and sat through enough early-stage pitches to know what real diligence looks like. We turned that into a SEBI-registered Angel Fund — and a platform that handles every step from first pitch call to unit certificate.

2022 Founded by Vijay Singh Rathore & Pravesh Goel.
Sep 2023 SEBI approves Soonicorn Angel Trust-I (₹250 Cr Angel Fund).
Today 60+ portfolio companies across 18+ sectors and counting.

Why we exist

Backing visionary founders, alongside a network that shows up after the wire.

India's startup landscape continues to accelerate, driven by bold ideas and rapid technological shifts. Our mission has stayed the same since day one: connect visionary founders with the capital, counsel, and network they need to scale.

Since inception we've grown the portfolio to 60+ exceptional startups spanning Climate-Tech, Drone-Tech, B2B SaaS, D2C, and a dozen more sectors — with highlights like Regrip, Zypp Electric, Inside FPV, and Samosa Party already transforming their industries.

Transparency and accountability sit at the heart of everything we do. Every deal goes through screening, due diligence, contribution agreements, and quarterly reporting on a single platform. No spreadsheets, no email chains, no surprises.

India's innovation ecosystem doesn't need more capital. It needs better-aligned capital — backed by operators who've sat in the founder's seat. That's the room we're building.

How investments are structured

Three vehicles, one platform.

Members can participate in deals through multiple structures depending on the deal size and their preference — all routed through SEBI-compliant rails.

Live

Angel Fund

All angel-stage investments are routed through Soonicorn Angel Trust-I, a SEBI-registered Category I Alternative Investment Fund. Minimum commitment ₹25 L per investor, in line with SEBI AIF norms.

Live

Syndicates (FaaS)

A lead investor brings their network alongside the fund through our Fund-as-a-Service (FaaS) structure — pooled SPVs with end-to-end deal management, drawdowns, and exit handling on our side.

Institutional

Late-stage co-invest

Late-stage rounds are shared with VC firms, family offices, and institutional networks, with us acting as a strategic deal-sourcing funnel for vetted, high-potential opportunities.
