Neon Fund

Neon Fund is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 that invests in Enterprise AI companies from pre-seed through seed. Its typical first cheque is $500,000, with flexibility to write smaller amounts in first rounds. The firm's technical focus spans vertical AI applications, cybersecurity, and developer tools, and its founders operate across India and the United States.

Support for portfolio companies is described as hands-on and begins early: the firm works with founders to explore problem statements alongside potential customers. Beyond capital, it provides customer introductions in both India and the US, assistance with go-to-market strategy, branding, demand generation and hiring, and a set of enterprise AI playbooks intended as practical operating knowledge. A founder community and ongoing guidance form part of the offering.

The firm states a portfolio milestone of $10 million in annual recurring revenue as an organising goal for its work with founders. Neon Fund grew out of the 100X Entrepreneur podcast, which started in 2018 and was founded by Nansi Mishra and Siddhartha Ahluwalia.
