• VentureSoul hits Rs 300 Crore base target for its maiden debt fund
• Green-shoe option open as the fund eyes structured credit deals
• 15 investments completed since launch in October 2024

VentureSoul Partners, a SEBI-registered Category II AIF specializing in structured credit for new-economy businesses, has closed its maiden debt fund at the base target of Rs 300 crore. The firm has also activated its green-shoe option, allowing it to continue raising capital as it looks to deepen its presence in India’s fast-expanding growth and structured financing ecosystem.

The fund will keep accepting new subscriptions under the green-shoe window until February 2026, which is the planned final close. VentureSoul noted strong interest from domestic family offices, HNIs, and institutional backers, reflecting rising demand for alternative credit strategies that support technology-led businesses.

Established in 2023 by Anurag Tripathi, Ashish Gala, and Kunal Wadhwa, VentureSoul focuses on venture debt and structured credit solutions designed for high-growth companies. Its investment approach combines traditional credit discipline with data-driven risk insights to offer flexible financing that helps startups scale without heavy equity dilution.

Since October 2024, the firm has completed 15 investments across a wide range of new-economy companies. VentureSoul’s maiden fund aims for a total corpus of Rs 600 crore, including the green-shoe portion. It typically backs startups at Series A or later stages across fintech, B2C, B2B, SaaS, and other emerging sectors, while maintaining a sector-agnostic philosophy.

The firm said the fund aligns with its goal of contributing to India’s Viksit Bharat vision by supporting the next wave of technology-enabled businesses with growth-friendly, structured capital.
