In a significant step that marks its evolution beyond early-stage investing, LetsVenture, one of India’s most prominent venture capital platforms, has officially rebranded itself as LVX. The transformation signals the firm’s commitment to becoming a full-stack investment platform, catering to startups across all stages of growth—from seed to scale.
This strategic shift reflects LVX’s ambition to play a holistic role in India’s maturing startup ecosystem, offering not just capital but also educational resources and structured financing alternatives tailored to the needs of both founders and investors.
A Multi-Vertical Investment Platform
Under its new identity, LVX will now operate through three core verticals, each designed to meet distinct needs within the startup value chain:
- LVX Start: Continuing its legacy, this arm will focus on early-stage startups, facilitating angel investing through its angel Alternative Investment Fund (AIF). It will continue to serve as the entry point for new investors while providing seed and pre-Series A funding for high-potential startups.
- LVX Grow: This new vertical marks the firm’s official foray into growth-stage investments, targeting companies that have found product-market fit and are now looking to scale operations and strengthen their market presence. LVX Grow will pool capital from venture funds, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs) looking to participate in later-stage funding rounds.
- LVX School: Positioned as an open-source learning and development platform, LVX School will focus on founder and investor education. It will offer resources and programs on fundraising, business model evolution, capital structuring, and long-term strategic planning—empowering stakeholders with the knowledge required to build resilient, high-growth ventures.
Building on Momentum
The rebranding comes after the successful introduction of LV Debt, a dedicated vertical launched to provide structured debt solutions and alternative capital options to startups. With this offering, LVX moved beyond equity financing to help founders access debt instruments suited to their stage and sector, especially important in a market increasingly focused on capital efficiency and profitability.
Led by Shanti Mohan and Sanjay Jha, LVX has been at the forefront of building an inclusive and transparent funding ecosystem since its inception. The firm has cultivated a robust community of over 14,000 angel investors, supported more than 900 startups, and facilitated investments alongside marquee names such as Ratan Tata, Mohandas Pai, Anupam Mittal, Accel, and Chiratae Ventures.
A Strong Portfolio and Founder-First Approach
Over the years, LVX has backed several high-growth companies that have gone on to become category leaders. Its portfolio includes names like Stockgro (social investing), Kenko (health insurance), Giva (jewellery D2C), Fasal (agritech), Yulu (shared mobility), and FarMart (agri supply chain)—reflecting the platform’s diversity across sectors.
In 2022, co-founder Shanti Mohan further expanded the platform’s vision with the launch of Propell, a sector-agnostic micro-VC fund aimed at investing in 30 high-potential early-stage startups in the areas of e-commerce, fintech, SaaS, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands.
Looking Ahead
With its new identity and broadened investment thesis, LVX is positioning itself as a long-term capital partner—one that provides startups not just funding, but also strategic support, ecosystem access, and education across every stage of their journey.
As India’s startup economy matures and the funding landscape grows increasingly nuanced, LVX’s full-stack, founder-first approach sets it apart as a next-generation venture platform committed to sustainable growth, inclusivity, and value creation at scale.
