Bipin Shah, previously the managing partner at Titan Capital, has launched Zeropearl, his new micro-venture capital firm, aimed at supporting founders at the earliest stages. According to Shah’s LinkedIn announcement, Zeropearl operates with a distinct “founder-only” approach, focusing on providing crucial early backing for startups.

Zeropearl intends to lead funding rounds at the friends & family or pre-seed stages, particularly targeting Consumer (D2C/B2C) and SaaS/GenAI sectors. For SaaS startups, Zeropearl is willing to invest pre-revenue, while consumer-oriented businesses are expected to show a monthly revenue benchmark of Rs 1 lakh.

The firm prioritizes efficiency, with decisions finalized within a week, and investments expected to close within a month. Zeropearl aims to invest in 12-15 carefully selected startups annually, seeking an 8% stake in each.

Alongside funding, Zeropearl will actively support growth and prepare companies for a robust Series A round within 15 months. While Shah notes that 80% of investments will follow these guidelines, Zeropearl is prepared to adapt to evolving market trends.
