Prime Venture Partners

Prime Venture Partners is an early-stage VC fund led by Sanjay Swamy, Shripati Acharya & Amit Somani. Prime is often the first institutional investor in category-defining tech startups.

Prime was started in 2012 with the objective of bringing Silicon Valley-style professionalism to venture investing and building world-class companies out of India. It was originally called AngelPrime and was renamed to Prime Venture Partners in 2015.

Prime is led by partners with deep experience both as entrepreneurs and operators. We work closely with entrepreneurs to understand the context of their business - be it in hiring, business strategy, sales, marketing, business model, or fundraising. We believe the success of companies hinges on making a large number of correct choices in the first 12 to 18 months of the company.
