Profile ↗

Dexter Ventures is a Bengaluru-based pre-seed/seed micro-VC that began in 2020 as the Dexter Angels investor syndicate and is positioned as the early-stage arm of founder Devendra Agrawal's Dexter platform (he founded Dexter Capital Advisors, an investment-banking/advisory firm, in 2013). The fund backs Indian B2B SaaS, fintech-infrastructure, AI-first and consumer startups, emphasizing strong founding teams. Key people verified on the official people page: Devendra Agrawal, CFA (Founder & Sponsor), Anuradha Agarwal (General Partner), plus a small associate/fellow team (Ankit Saraf, Yash Garg, Urvi Jain, Sakshi Singhal).

Pre-seed and seed stage. Sectors: B2B SaaS / horizontal SaaS, enterprise tech, SME digitization, creator economy, fintech infrastructure / API-first, AI-first businesses, consumer brands, B2B commerce and healthtech. Explicitly avoids B2G, manufacturing, and high-gestation biotech.

Pre-seed/seed, ~USD 0.4-1 Cr per cheque (avg seed round ~USD 1.08M); small angel/micro-VC cheques

As compiled from public sources — verify with the investor.

• ⚑ Name-collision/sister-entity note: distinguish from (a) Dexter Capital Advisors / dextercapital.in — the related growth-stage investment-banking arm of the same founder, NOT the early-stage VC (the site footer also lists "Dexter Capital" and "Delta Advisors" as separate Dexter entities); and (b) the older "Dexter Angels"/dexterangels.com microsite (the predecessor syndicate). The vetted entity is the dexter.ventures micro-VC. Private firm — no government/DFI/public-university linkage found. HQ in India. AUM not disclosed. Minor: site spells the insurtech company "Bharat Sure" (record had "Bharatsure" — same entity).
