New Delhi: US-based venture capital firm Expert Dojo has announced a new India-dedicated accelerator cohort, pledging to invest USD 100,000 each in more than 10 early-stage Indian startups this fiscal year. The cohort, which is now accepting applications, targets technology-driven and scalable ventures across sectors such as AI, electric vehicles, B2B, and fintech, while remaining broadly sector-agnostic, a company statement said.
Beyond capital, selected startups will gain access to Expert Dojo’s global investor network, mentorship, and growth support, with a strong emphasis on refining go-to-market strategies and accelerating progress toward Series A funding rounds. This move follows Expert Dojo’s earlier commitment of a USD 15 million India-focused fund, aiming to back 20-25 startups by FY 2026.
“India is not just a market for us, it’s a priority. We see a powerful wave of innovation emerging from tier-1 cities to remote corners of the country, led by founders who understand real problems on the ground. “Our 15 million fund is more than a financial commitment, it’s a vote of confidence in Indian entrepreneurship,” Ashutosh Kumar, General Partner at Expert Dojo, said.
Expert DOJO is a Southern California-based international early-stage venture capital firm and startup accelerator. Since 2018, it has invested in close to 300 startups globally and now manages an AUM (assets under management) of USD 70 million.
