## About Kshatriya ventures

VC Fund · Mumbai, India

We’re Early Stage Investors. Sometimes called Angel Investors. Sometimes called Venture Capitalists or VCs (they mean slightly different things). Basically we invest time and money in small companies and startups that we love in exchange for an equity stake to help them grow huge. That way we can make money through a share in their humongous futureprofits, or sell our equity at a significantly higher price that we originally paid.
