One Capital

We are happy to invest in companies with nothing but an idea and a founding team. We have a lot of experience as investors and founders taking companies from this stage to the next level. We also invest at the Seed Stage. We partner and invest in companies with strong mission driven teams. We have a track-record of being founders ourselves. That is why we always are happy to work with each team the way that fits them the best. We’re happy to be hands-off investors and let you do what you know best. We’re comfortable jumping into the deep end and dealing with problems head-on and spend time with you in the challenges that you face. Region: USA, Nordics Initial Ticket: 200k€ - 1M€ Company Stages: Pre-Seed, Seed Participation type: Lead + Co-Lead + Follow Follow-on Investments: 50% of the Fund Investment Themes: Theme-focused, Generalist Failup Ventures is happy to lead pre-seed and seed stage rounds but we are also comfortable co-leading with other investors. We know where we can bring value and we also can follow in rounds where we are not the leading institutional investor. We like to invest in the following 5 themes, but we also invest in other sectors:Future of Work Future of Consumption Dynamic Marketplaces Digital Infrastructure Commercial Climate Tech We want to partner with entrepreneurs who are defining tools and ways of working of the future, to power a new wave of efficiency and happiness at the workplace for the next generations. The pandemic accelerated the change in how we work. As of Spring 2022, 58% of Americans have the opportunity work from home at least one day a week. 35% percent have the option to work from home five days a week. When people have the chance to work flexibly, 87% of them take it. These dynamics apply widespread across demographics, occupations and geographies in the US. This represents a tectonic shift in where, when and how Americans want to work and are working. Currently companies are using tools that were not built for this purpose of serving full-time remote employees, hybrid employees and dedicated onsite ones or a combination of these possibilities. Companies are still defining the guidelines and standards to how they want to structure the future. Trying to kill off remote policies has been met with backlash from employees and companies have had to backtrack on such plans. If companies were to go back to fully on-site arrangement, they would risk losing up to 39% of the workforce. The current breakthroughs in artificial intelligence provide new opportunities to improve efficiency at the workplace. As is also apparent in the current movements in the AI and Machine Learning industry that these tools are here to stay and assist the workforce. All companies from smaller to enterprises are starting to find new ways of using these tools to improve efficiency at work. Startups and smaller companies have always been innovative and unique in their ways of working. However changes will now be happening on all levels from SMB’s to schools to S&P500 companies. We do not know what work at blue collar or white collar job looks like in 5 to 10 years. We don’t know how hiring will change for that modern workplace. We see new key indicators for employees such as well-being as a metric that employees are looking for in their evaluation of employers. These changes present terrific opportunity for new companies to provide value for SMB and enterprise companies. We at Failup Ventures have always been excited to support flexible and innovative ways of working that can offer a competitive edge. This provides a huge opportunity for new software providers. There is opportunity for pioneers who can introduce new methods of working and tooling for this. After companies start adopting sustainable standardised ways of working, the next wave of companies can start building customised tooling for this market which will be huge. We also want to know how the meaning of work will change in the future. Jobseekers are paying attention to other factors beside the money: healthcare, well-being, in person experiences and a sense of purpose. We hope to see solutions that address these factors in the evolving job market. As is also apparent in the current movements in the AI and Machine Learning industry that these tools are here to stay and assist the workforce. All companies from smaller to enterprises are starting to find new ways of using these tools to improve efficiency at work. We want to support companies defining this wave for the next version of work.

After managing two successful funds, we now present YourNest Innovative Products VC Fund III. Focused on disruptive technologies to enhance the way mankind leverages the value of time, this US$ 75 mn fund will invest in startup founders across a spectrum of DeepTech domains: AI, IoT, Robotics, AR/VR/MR, Dev. Tools, Edge Cloud and other Digital products. As always, our intent is to create an opportunity for Indian entrepreneurs to scale into global markets with IP-led innovations: many of our portfolio companies in YourNest VC Fund II have secured patents and attracted customers in international markets. As a pioneering, pre-Series A, early-stage venture capital fund established in 2011 to support audacious startups building life-changing businesses, YourNest strongly believes in the human capability and works with the dictum of ‘what is impossible today is routine tomorrow’. We believe, too, that we are Challengineers: a team that actively pushes boundaries and engineers outcomes, standing shoulder to shoulder with our founders and supporting them with ‘Nurture Capital’. With an established network of professionals, innovators, business leaders, advisors and mentors, we offer the most enabling eco-system for any startup whose business is validated by customers. Our team prides itself on identifying committed entrepreneurs with the highest level of integrity, enabling their business ambitions and helping them to scale for international markets. In 2020, we launched our fast-track funding program SOAR which invested in five startups. The year also saw us exiting Uniphore and SmartQ from our first fund – YourNest Angel Fund – with a 0.7x DPI. Between the two funds, we are confident of multiple exits to deliver significant returns to our investors in the foreseeable future. Investment Thesis With the rise of entrepreneurs and the growth of startups in the past few years, we believe there are critical sectors, rooted in technology, that will fuel the next level of disruption in the coming decade. YourNest Innovative Products Fund-III will primarily seek to invest in enterprise-oriented, innovative, IP-led, tech-product startups. Its mission is to select products that are built around emerging technologies and have applications at scale. These product companies could be in sectors including Mobile Internet, Cloud Technology, Automation of Knowledge Work, Low-code or No-code Platforms, AI-based Cybersecurity, IOT, Edge Computing, Digital Twinning, Autonomous Technologies, Robotics, Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM). The focus of the Fund will be to invest in unlisted companies. The investment may start at an early seed stage and continue investing in promising companies at various stages of their growth. One or more rounds are likely to be made with co-investment from other investor(s) who may be an individual or an institution or an AIF or international investor such that the risk and reward of the portfolio company’s success is shared. ESG Policy Statement The YourNest Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd. i.e. Investment Manager (“IM”) of the Fund, commits to being a responsible investor, considering environmental, social and governance issues across all its investments. The IM is committed to comply with its ESG policy, applicable laws of the land and to be responsive to existing and emerging ESG concerns.

ESG integration will enable us to grow and improve the companies in which we invest, for long-term value generation opportunities for the benefit of all stakeholders. At the same time, we believe that ESG integration will help mitigate any liability, credit, market or reputation risks emanating from such issues. Nurture Capital Philosophy YourNest is a sharply focused early-stage DeepTech VC fund from India. The first fund established in 2012, raised US$ 14 mn and has several companies in the portfolio that have had multiple up-rounds and are on their way to a 4X+ return. Having completely invested its first two funds, YourNest is currently raising its third fund of US$ 75 mn to invest in Indian start-ups with a focus on DeepTech domains like AI, IoT, Robotics, AR/VR/MR, Dev. Tools, Edge Cloud and other Digital products. The YourNest team combines what may well be India’s widest access to prospective investees along with a rigorously prudent selection process that enables us to stay true to our investment thesis of nurturing high-potential entrepreneurs. In addition, we give our investors transparent access and exposure to high-growth, under-the-radar tech start-ups in India.
