WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN A FOUNDER

(Some) rules still apply

01

The zeal to scale

We are actively involved in, and passionate about, building for the larger community, and this means scale is on our mind as much as it is on yours.

02

Commitment to action

We’d like to help you bridge the gap between ideation and action, and we can do this well when you feel empowered to make decisions that align with your value system.

03

The secret sauce

Who you are matters to us, as much as it does to you. We look for founders and creators with integrity for their idea, and a sense of gratitude for their community.

PERSPECTIVE

We’ve made mistakes so you don’t have to

Often, the journey to scale is fraught with challenges that only compound with time. Having built and scaled startups, we understand how to navigate these complexities. From the seemingly basic (think cash flow) to the complex (changing consumer preferences), we’ve got you covered.

PERSPECTIVE

We believe in an attitude of gratitude

The best way to acknowledge the giants whose shoulders we stand on is to adopt a position of gratitude. We build as part of the community, and the community gives us feedback on our ideas. In this teaching-learning process, acceptance and appreciation are the secret sauce for success.

PERSPECTIVE

Your idea is at the centre

And we want you to focus on creating it, while we serve as your readymade founding team. As the chaos of the everyday takes over, it is easy to forget why we started in the first place. We work to ensure that even as we solve problems together, we always remember the why.

PERSPECTIVE

Our priorities are clear

Being an entrepreneur means investing in an idea while also remaining practically oriented. When to pivot, where to invest more time, what features to prioritise, and how to see- these are the foundations of our decision-making process.

The future is Co-created by entrepreneurs and there is no better time than now to create a company in India for the local and global markets.

Frequently asked questions

A Venture Capital firm invests money and strategic value into companies that demonstrate potential, either in the form of early-stage funding, or promising revenue projections. A Venture Studio, on the other hand, invests capital, time, and resources into an idea, and works to help it scale. The team building the idea out is usually the Venture Studio’s in-house team until an executive leader is able to step in.

The concept of Venture Studios in India is very nascent. At MALOKA, we are very clear on the kinds of ideas we wish to invest in- community-oriented, creator-based startups are the best fit for us because our core team has experience building products of this nature. We believe in bringing the best of our resources to every one of your ideas, which is why we are very selective about the ideas we work on.

MALOKA brings to the table the capital, resources, and time needed to take an idea to scale, in partnership with you.

Yes, we only take in ideas at the pre-seed or seed stage, and we understand the risk landscape of early-stage growth very well. Please reach out to us using the contact form on this website.

Any product idea which is driven by a creator, or is built with the idea of building and nurturing a community around it, is an idea we are willing to invest in. Please reach out to us to know more.

The process follows a few logical steps, such as validating the idea through research and analysis, MVP creation with our in-house team, investments and structuring, and setting up a venture. We place a significant amount of emphasis on the discovery and ideation stages, as this in our mind is the difference between a successful venture from the word go and one that runs into issues later. Once the idea achieves scale, we look for a founding team that is best placed to take the MVP even further. As part of the process, we focus heavily on setting up systems, both operational and tech-based, that make scaling the venture a lot more seamless.

The best way to get to know a team is to have a conversation. We would love to showcase our team’s past track record and current work, and see if your idea could be a good fit for us. Please reach out to us to set up time for a meeting.
