Our Perspective

Our Perspective

In our perspective, only those who have the courage to think different, change often, move faster and aim for the unattainable can change the world. With this belief-
We support revolutionary business ideas
We focus on building transformative, enduring and scalable businesses
We invest in passionate, resolute, radical thinkers and conviction-oriented change agents capable of identifying and seizing opportunities for exponential growth

In new age, when the primary focus is on disruptive deep tech, machine learning, automation, artificial intelligence as well as digital tech data analytics, we believe that a unique business idea with elements of innovation is quintessential to success. Other deciding factors include the size of opportunity, team capability, growth potential, network and linkages, speed of execution, market size, capital requirements and the ability to self-sustain. Investment in a niche business segment or aiming for a suitable acquisition target for business expansion can also serve as game-changers for founders in building long lasting businesses.

Demystifying Venture Investment

Demystifying Venture Investment

The world is experiencing a paradigm shift in how businesses are conducted and companies operate on account of emerging technologies, acceleration of digital and analytics, evolving consumer mindset and changing ecosystems. Today, only those who can identify and adapt to change with resolve, resilience, re-imagination and reform will be able to survive and step up their game.

What is changing?

Trends are changing
Consumers are changing
Habits are changing
Demographics are changing
Technologies are changing
Consumer interfaces are changing
Delivery models are changing
Social interfaces are changing
Aspirations are changing
Work cultures are changing
Business landscape and ecosystems are changing.

To effectively respond to these changes, new-age businesses and innovative ways of working are emerging. Resultantly, how an investor approaches, perceives and supports such businesses in the transformed environment is changing.

As expected, businesses around the world are trying their best to adapt to these changes quickly and chase relevant opportunities. However, in this mayhem of changes, a small part of new-age business environment is getting cluttered with shallow businesses and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) investors chasing fancy valuations, unrealistic dreams and cloned ideas.

As an outcome, businesses with unreasonable growth assumptions are enjoying undeserving attention and risk capital from these investors while promising, real and path-breaking businesses take a backseat. Therefore a new age investor has to be resilient, adaptive and realistic to evaluate such businesses and have a balanced approach towards them.

Our Edge

As a private equity firm with expertise in both traditional (listed and private businesses) and new-age businesses, Acquaint Bee can easily shaft through this clutter to find real and lasting businesses. Here is what makes us a unique and preferred venture capitalist-

Clutter to clarity

To filter through the clutter and ascertain the potential of any new-age business, we take a 360 degree look at its problems, proposed solutions, potential, adaptability, execution capabilities, efficiencies, and agility.

Return & valuations

Believers in longevity and tenacity of businesses, we evaluate businesses based on their scalability, long run growth & profitability, cash flows and quality of earnings.

Seed to scale

We take time to nurture relationships and co-create the building blocks for businesses that we invest in.

Visionary leadership

We know that just like Rome was not built in a day, the new-age businesses should be granted adequate time to embrace and evolve with changes.

Long-term-investment

We do not chase valuations and stay invested for longer time to construct successful, resilient and transformative businesses.
