What LVX Ventures does

LVX Ventures (formerly LetsVenture) is a Bangalore-headquartered private market investing platform founded in May 2013 by Shanti Mohan and reincorporated as LetsVenture Technologies Pvt Ltd in March 2018, with a co-located WeWork Galaxy registered office. The company operates a unified platform with module-based products: LVX Start for early-stage angel and seed investing (pre-seed to Series A, minimum ₹5 lakh per deal, 1,100+ deals closed, ₹1,100+ Cr invested, 26% average net IRR, 20X maximum realized exit); LVX Grow for growth-stage primary and secondary transactions (Series A to pre-IPO, $150K-$2M cheques, ₹1,500+ Cr AUM across 50+ growth startups); LVX Debt for non-dilutive financing (term loans, lines of credit, revenue-based financing, asset leasing, invoice discounting, and venture debt up to ₹5 crore in a week); and LVX School for investor education. The platform's technology stack includes an AI-native investor mobile app (iOS and Android) embedding Elvix, an AI investment analyst for continuous deal evaluation and risk scoring, and a proprietary 3-tier curation process (platform rating, founder conversations, crowd validation). Underlying the platform is a SEBI-registered Category I Angel AIF (LV Angel Fund) managed by LV Advisors LLP, into which all investor commitments are routed, plus ecosystem programs including LVX Tribe (community cohort), LVX Corridor (India-UAE and India-Saudi cross-border convenings), Bharat Ke Super Founders (Amazon MX Player reality show), and Falcons of Majlis (UAE-based reality show).

The business model is multi-stream and transaction-linked: investor onboarding (₹40,000 + GST for Indian residents, ₹50,000 + GST for foreign), annual subscription renewals (₹10,000-20,000 + GST), per-deal processing (₹2,000 + GST), 2% + GST platform/deal restructuring charges on gross investment, 10% exit charges, lead syndicate carry up to 5% from investors and 0-15% charged by lead investors, plus debt facilitation economics routed through partner lenders (Recur Club, CredAble, Bajaj, Indifi, Incred, Klubworks). Distribution combines a self-serve mobile and web product for SMB and individual investors, direct enterprise sales for LVX Grow family offices and institutions, the SEBI AIF as a regulated distribution vehicle, partner-led debt distribution, paid cohort programs (LVX School, Angel Cohort), and media properties. The platform reports 36K+ investors, 300+ family offices and funds, 14K+ founders, 350 family offices, 150 VC funds, 715-1,100+ deals (depending on page), ₹1,160+ Cr GDV committed, ₹11Bn+ equity and ₹150Mn+ debt deployed to date, and 25+ exits with 80+ transactions in 2025. It is backed by Accel (2015 Series A co-lead), Anupam Mittal (People Group), Ratan Tata, Mohandas Pai, Nandan Nilekani, Rishad Premji, and Subrata Mitra, with operating geographies spanning India (Bangalore HQ; Mumbai, Delhi city communities) and the Middle East (Dubai and Saudi Arabia regional HQs).

The company maintains a small core team (11-50 employees) operating as an asset-light platform, with a leadership group including Founder & CEO Shanti Mohan, Head of Investments and LVX Tribe Course Coordinator Pranav Mahajani (IIM Ahmedabad, Government Law College), VP Sales & Deal Management and LVX Tribe Mentorship Lead Pallavvi Agarwal, and Marketing/Content/Media Relations lead Raja Bose. As of 2026 the business is actively expanding: the Elvix AI analyst launched in June 2026, LVX Tribe 2026 first cohort started June 10, 2026, Bharat Ke Super Founders premiered January 16, 2026 on Amazon MX Player with a Rs 100 crore investment pool, and LVX Corridor events in Dubai (October 22, 2026) and Saudi Arabia (August 31 - September 3, 2026) anchor the cross-border India-Middle East expansion.

Core offering

LVX Ventures (formerly LetsVenture) operates a unified, AI-native private market investing platform that connects startup founders with investors (angel investors, family offices, VCs, and UHNIs) for curated deal flow from pre-seed to pre-IPO. Its core offering includes LVX Start (early-stage angel investing), LVX Grow (growth-stage and secondary transactions), LVX Debt (non-dilutive debt financing), the SEBI-registered Angel AIF (LV Angel Fund) managed by LV Advisors LLP, and the Elvix AI investment analyst embedded in its mobile and web apps.

Product overview

LVX Ventures (formerly LetsVenture) operates a unified, platform-plus-modules private market investing architecture. The core LVX platform serves as a single operating system for private market investing, with three primary investing modules: LVX Start (early-stage angel and seed deals), LVX Grow (growth-stage to pre-IPO capital with primary and secondary transactions), and LVX Debt (non-dilutive debt financing up to ₹5 crore via a partner network of lenders). The Elvix AI investment analyst is embedded into the AI-native investor app that overlays the platform, providing AI-powered deal evaluation, risk evaluation, and continuous investment feedback. Complementary offerings include LVX School (investor education with lifetime access and templates), LVX Tribe (India's premier startup community with weekly masterclasses and mentor matching), LVX Corridor (India–UAE cross-border convening for founders and investors), LetsVenture Angel Cohort (angel investing training with 1:1 mentorship), the LV Angel Fund (SEBI-registered Category I Alternative Investment Fund), the LVX AI-Native Investor App, and media properties such as Bharat Ke Super Founders (Amazon MX Player reality show) and Falcons of Majlis (UAE strategic investment reality show). Together, these modules and programs span the full startup lifecycle — from founder education and angel syndication, through AI-assisted deal evaluation and debt financing, to growth-stage capital and cross-border scaling.
