We build world class products

About Zemuria

Zemuria is a tech-centric Venture Studio. Our diverse talent pool of product owners, including those in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City, is nurtured in our Founder-in-Residence program from our Pondicherry headquarters. Pondy is a city rich with a French legacy layered on likely the oldest-lived Indian civilization archaeological site on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, which we whimsically refer to as Pondy by the Bay.

As a Venture Studio, we can weed or nourish from a portfolio of ventures based on traction and market realities instead of prolonging hubris by blinkered founders, thus iterating good ideas faster. A key differentiator of our culture is that we co-create with our founder talent, collaborate with them during their near-inevitable course corrections, and coach them even through their pivots and occasional rebirths.

Investments

We invest in ventures that can generate sustainable positive cash flows, targeting the geo-economics of the rapidly rising global South and the global economy. Our focused thesis, with early community engagement, helps us make well-targeted decisions with our capital.

We provide two tangible infusions into our co-created ventures, typically starting at the early ideation stage :

• - Infusion of up to $100K Capital for Equity or as interest-free Debt
• - Core operating platform support costs.

We are also open to absorbing languishing startups for their IP, brand, and contributing team, giving them a fresh lease on life.

As any of our ventures gains meaningful traction and impact, we guide them to an external venture capital funding round (if necessary). We then set up the entire team as an independent operating entity, consolidating its operating functions while retaining a meaningful say on its board.
