Alteria Capital announces final close of Fund III at Rs 1,550 Cr

Mumbai-headquartered venture debt firm Alteria Capital has announced the final close of its third fund at Rs 1,550 crore (approximately $187 million). The fund was oversubscribed with a target size of Rs 1,000 crore and a green shoe option.

Alteria Capital, which has backed startups such as Rebel Foods, BlueStone, OneCard, Ather and Captain Fresh, will continue backing startups across consumer brands, e-commerce, fintech, logistics, business-to-business platforms, rural and agritech, healthcare, and climate tech. 

It will also evaluate companies in the Gen AI and spacetech segments.  

While it closed the venture debt scheme at Rs 1,550 crore, the shorter duration scheme, currently under subscription, is expected to raise around $105 million.

The shorter duration scheme is likely to see its final close by the end of 2024. It will be available to all portfolio companies with the average cheque size ranging between Rs 3 crore and Rs 100 crore.

The fund has already deployed 50% of the total capital commitments to portfolio companies, including OneCard, Renee Cosmetics, Samunnati, Blissclub, Rebel Foods, Giva, Lead School, Kissht, Captain Fresh, Traya, BlueStone and Ather.
