Filter Capital, a technology-focused investment firm, has made the final close of its first fund at Rs 800 crore (approximately $96 million).
The Mumbai-based fund received around 60% of the capital commitments from domestic limited partners (LPs), with the rest coming from international investors.
According to an ET report, the LPs in the round included institutional investors and family offices such as HDFC Fund of Funds, Small Industries Development Bank of India, DSP family office, Amansa Capital founder Akash Prakash and Dream Sports cofounder Harsh Jain.
Launched by Nithin Nayar and Sumit Sinha in 2018, Filter Capital will invest in Series B and C rounds in the range of $15-20 million.
Filter Capital India Fund I has so far invested about Rs 225 crore from its corpus in four entities — enterprise loyalty software provider Capillary Technologies, bus mobility platform Chalo Mobility, e-commerce logistics services firm LoadShare Networks and healthcare enterprise software company THB.
Recently, its portfolio firm Capillary Technologies extended its Series D round to $140 million, raising $95 million in secondary transactions to provide exits to existing investors and employees.
