Crafting Distinctive Investment Journeys

At Meteor Venture, we are a boutique investment firm shaped by deep operating roots and a founder-led ethos. What began as a close-circle investment collective has matured into a highly curated angel network.

We integrated Startup Angel Network (SAN) — initiated by Vikas Dhar — into the Meteor fold. This brought with it a vibrant community of investors and a rich pipeline of early-stage deals across India and the Middle East. Together, MV × SAN combines rigour in deal vetting with expansive reach across institutional and strategic capital.

We focus on high-conviction, hands-on investments — backing startups not just with capital, but with operational insight, B2B access, and growth strategy. Every deal is personally championed, ensuring founders get more than funding — they get a real partner in their journey to scale.
