Description:Afore Capital operates as a PreSeed venture capital firm, boasting an impressive $300 million in assets under management. The firm was co-founded by Anamitra Banerji and Gaurav Jain, who bring a wealth of experience to the investment landscape. Afore Capital is dedicated to supporting product-oriented founders focused on developing software companies during their earliest stages of growth.
The firm typically invests between $1 million and $2 million into founders' initial institutional rounds, demonstrating a strong commitment to nurturing emerging talent. Afore Capital often leads these investment rounds, collaborating with high-value angel investors to provide a robust support network for the founders they back.
Afore Capital holds a distinctive philosophy: they believe that before a company emerges and before any business is established, there is often a product-oriented founder at the helm, driven by a vision for their product. These products are frequently in their raw stages, sometimes merely embryonic concepts that require considerable imagination and refinement. Such ideas may be pretraction and may not yet be immediately apparent, yet they stem from founders who possess unique insights and an infectious ambition to succeed.
The inception of Afore Capital was aimed at exclusively supporting these visionary founders right at the beginning of their journeys, often referred to as "day zero." The firm leverages a remarkable background that includes 16 years of product experience and 7 years of institutional investing expertise, allowing Afore Capital to provide invaluable support and guidance to the innovators who are shaping the future of technology.
