$100M Global Fund: Expert Dojo Allocates $15M for Indian SaaS, AI & Fintech Startups

The US-based early-stage investor sharpens its focus on India’s high-growth tech ecosystem in FY26

Southern California-based venture capital firm Expert Dojo has announced a $15 million India-focused investment strategy for FY26 as part of its newly launched $100 million third global fun. This move marks a major vote of confidence in India’s fast-growing startup ecosystem, particularly in sectors such as SaaS, fintech, B2B, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Founded in 2018, Expert Dojo operates as an accelerator and venture fund, known for backing early-stage startups with not just capital but also operational and scaling support. With this latest plan, the firm aims to invest in 20 to 25 Indian startups, reinforcing its commitment to fostering innovation in emerging markets.

India’s Innovation Potential Catches Global Attention

India continues to draw attention from global venture capital firms. According to a report by Bain & Company and IVCA, India saw over $25 billion in VC/PE funding in 2023, despite global market slowdowns. The surge in digital adoption, a strong talent pool, and supportive government policies have created fertile ground for early-stage innovation.

Expert Dojo’s new initiative is sector-agnostic, but it will prioritize companies that demonstrate global scalability—startups that can expand beyond the Indian market and tap into global customer bases.

Expert Dojo’s Growing India Footprint

• Bhive—a co-working and real estate investment platform
• Cloudworx—a no-code 3D digital twin creation platform
• Doqfy—a legal and document automation startup

These companies have leveraged Expert Dojo’s global network and accelerator resources to scale faster and access international markets.

What This Means for Indian Startups

Startups selected under this fund will not only receive capital but also gain access to Expert Dojo’s hands-on accelerator program, mentorship, and cross-border scaling strategies. This positions them to attract further funding and expand into the US and other global markets.
