Sauce.VC floats third VC fund with target corpus of Rs 250 Cr

Consumer-focused early-stage venture capital firm Sauce VC has launched its third fund with a target to raise Rs 250 crore, according to an ET report.

Sauce.VC had  received clearance from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) a few weeks ago for the new fund.

The New Delhi-based firm invests in new-age consumer brands and platforms at a pre-revenue or idea stage. To date, it has invested in 21 companies from its two separate funds that were launched in 2019 and 2021.

Sauce.VC launched its first fund in 2019 with a target corpus of Rs 60 crore. It launched its second vehicle in 2021 with a fund size of Rs 158 crore. Its latest Sauce Continuity Fund was closed with a corpus of Rs 263 crore. 

It has already invested in XYXX, The Whole Truth Foods, Mokobara, Innovist, and Supertails from the continuity fund, and has plans to add oral care brand Perfora, ice cream brand Hocco and energy drink Rockit to the list of top-ups.
