FinSight Ventures
FinSight Ventures invests globally across technology, fintech and growth-stage companies.
Overview
FinSight Ventures is a global technology investment firm founded by Alexey Garyunov in 2004. The firm operates across the United States, India and other international markets, with Bengaluru serving as its India base. Rather than operating as an India-only fund, FinSight invests across geographies and has built a portfolio spanning the US, India, Europe, Latin America and emerging markets.
Investment Focus and Stage
FinSight has a broad mandate and does not restrict itself to a fixed set of industries. Its core expertise lies in fintech, AI and B2B SaaS, while its investments also extend into commerce, healthcare, mobility and other technology businesses.
The firm has increasingly concentrated on later-stage opportunities. Its investment approach includes Series B and later rounds, with typical checks of $3 million to $5 million at Series B+ and $10 million to $20 million for growth-stage investments. FinSight can deploy larger amounts depending on the opportunity and investment structure.
Its India strategy has a particular emphasis on fintech and commerce. The firm also participates in pre-IPO transactions and invests in other venture funds, giving it exposure across multiple points of the private-market lifecycle.
Fund Size and Portfolio
FinSight manages more than $600 million across its investment platform and has invested in more than 100 companies globally.
Its portfolio includes Bumble, Razorpay, MediBuddy, Gupshup, Easy Home Finance, CarDekho, Uzum, DailyPay and Convoy. In India, FinSight has built a portfolio across fintech, healthcare and consumer technology. It has also backed companies such as Uzum in Uzbekistan and DailyPay in the United States, reflecting the firm's international investment strategy.
The firm's India portfolio includes Razorpay, which has grown into one of India's largest fintech platforms, and MediBuddy, which has expanded into a major digital healthcare business.
