Investment Approach

At Vedas, we focus on early stage companies that act upon opportunities at the forefront of industry. We do not invest in incremental advances to existing technologies, instead Vedas seeks out companies that attack billion-dollar market opportunities with distinctive leadership teams, disruptive technologies, and business models built upon sustainable competitive advantages. Vedas accomplishes this by leveraging the managers' experience and networks to source deals and identify innovative entrepreneurs with ground-breaking ideas that have large market impact potential.

Geographical Focus

While our roots are in New York and Singapore, at Vedas, we will devote time and effort to work with innovators globally if we feel strongly about the founders, opportunity and its potential impact.
