Investments

ABAIA has an informal angel network of 25+ investors who have been startup founders and/or seasoned investors in startups. We look to invest in promising early-stage AI startups with the following attributes:

  • Building Enterprise AI solutions with a large TAM
  • Developing from India provides competitive advantage
  • Strong founding team with excellent capabilities or track record of enterprise application development
  • While we come in at early stage, we look at those startups that have developed product prototype and are close to MVP stage
  • Customers’ acceptance of the startups’ solution in the form of paid POC or recurring contracts (which can be subject to successful POC)
  • Founders having prior track record of owning P&L or having worked at CXO roles at established organizations would be preferred. We avoid investing in solo founders
