JPIN, an investment bank for startups, has launched two strategic funds to promote startups that show potential in emerging markets and to support the economic growth of businesses on a global scale.
The company's $130 million JPIN Global Fund in the UK and a $20 million JPIN fund in India will bring together some of the world's most ambitious startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
JPIN aims to lead an investment round by investing its first commitment capital in Pre-Series A and later startups over a three-year period with the $130 million Global funds. The remaining capital will be reserved for use in subsequent rounds.
The fund focuses primarily on investing in the UK's domestic and emerging markets such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, which are in sync with its objective to create a market for startups and investors.
Earlier, JPIN focused on the early stages of growth (Pre-Series A) allowing startups to scale with their own network and end-to-end approach to startup development. The JPIN India Fund will allow the startup investment bank to focus on more mature SMEs seeking transformative growth capital.
