The Fund aims for a final close of $225 million by June 2026
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Venturi Partners, a leading consumer growth fund announced the first close of its second fund at $150 million. This milestone, supported by existing and new investors, marks strong momentum towards Venturi’s overall target of $225 million.
Building on the success of Fund I, Fund II will back disruptive, purpose-driven brands across India and Southeast Asia that are positioned to benefit from structural tailwinds including rising consumer spending and favourable demographics. Fund II will make initial investments of $15-40 million in 10 companies across high growth consumer sectors. Alongside the main fund, investors can co-invest on a 1-1 ratio.
This investment strategy is reinforced by Venturi’s distinct value creation approach that lies in its close collaboration with founders and active board level participation, leveraging the team’s deep sector operating expertise.
Nicholas Cator, Founder & Managing Partner of Venturi Partners, commented: “We are grateful for the continued trust and confidence of our existing investors and welcome our new partners. This strong response validates our investment thesis and the strength of our unique team.”
Rishika Chandan, Managing Partner of Venturi Partners, commented: “Amidst global volatility, India continues to emerge as a strong growth market, creating a compelling long-term opportunity that aligns well with our strategy. With our hands-on operating expertise, we are confident to deliver strong returns.”
