Venturi Partners has announced the first close of its second fund at $150m, marking a significant step towards its target of $225m by June 2026. The fund will focus on high-growth consumer brands in India and Southeast Asia, leveraging rising consumer spending and favourable demographics in these regions.
Building on the success of its debut fund, which closed at $180m in June 2022, Fund II will invest $15-40 million in 10 companies across high-growth consumer sectors. Investors will also have the opportunity to co-invest on a 1-1 ratio.
