Before becoming an investor, Arjun Rao co-founded Travelyaari, where he led technology and product strategy and helped raise $12 million, and he also co-founded the edtech startup SchoolHub, giving him hands-on experience building companies. At DeVC he focuses on deep tech, arguing that India's challenge now is turning good research into real businesses, and he shares this view through masterclasses, talks, and writing on topics like business models and the growing appeal of B2B2C.

DeVC is a pre-seed fund whose 40+ LPs are startup founders and operators who actively source and evaluate deals, aiming for high deal velocity and a large portfolio across areas like agri, defense, AI, aerospace, and deeptech. Rather than acting as pure capital, the fund and its collective—made up of operators across India and the US—work alongside founders in a hands-on way from the earliest stage, backing India-linked founders building for both domestic and global markets with first checks between $50K and $500K.
