Afore Capital is a Pre-Seed VC with $500 million in AUM co-founded by Anamitra Banerji & Gaurav Jain. We support product-oriented founders building software companies at the very earliest stages. Our sweet spot is investing $1-2m+ into founders first institutional round. We can lead this round alongside high value angels. At Afore, we believe that before theres a company, before theres a business, theres a product-oriented founder leading by product. The products are often raw, sometimes just rough concepts requiring a lot of imagination. They are pre-traction and pre-obvious. But they come from founders with non-obvious insights and infectious ambitions. We started Afore to back these founders at the pre-seed stage exclusively, on day zero of their journey. We bring with us 16 years of product experience and 7 years of institutional investing experience.
