About

Volt VC is an Ahmedabad-based pre-seed micro-VC, structured as Volt VC Fund-1, a scheme of Volt VC Trust registered with SEBI as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (registration no. IN/AIF2/24-25/1520, confirmed on its official site). The maiden fund was announced August 2024 by Managing Partner Param Patel, who previously led startup investments at Gujarat Venture Finance Limited (GVFL) and was CIO and a founding fund-team member at Terazo. The fund positions itself as one of Gujarat's first pre-seed micro-VC vehicles, writing INR 50 lakh-2 Cr cheques into 20-25 consumer-focused startups. (Note: official site says "sector agnostic" while press coverage emphasizes a consumer/D2C/B2C/B2B2C focus.)

About this record

⚑ Name collision: distinct US-based crypto VC "Volt Capital" (volt.capital, San Francisco, founded ~2018-2019 by Soona Amhaz) — NOT the same firm; do not conflate. Volt VC (this firm) is private (SEBI Cat-II AIF), not a government/DFI/university vehicle (founder's prior GVFL role does not make this fund governmental). Caveat: brand-new first-time fund with NO disclosed portfolio or track record; INR 45 Cr is a TARGET corpus, not confirmed closed; full HQ street address not published on official site. Minor title inconsistency: official site says "Managing Partner," some press says "General Partner."
