What Together does

Together Fund (legal entity: Together Advisors LLP) is an India-domiciled, operator-led venture capital firm founded in July 2021 by Girish Mathrubootham (founder of Freshworks, Nasdaq: FRSH), Manav Garg (founder of Eka Software, acquired by STG), and Shubham Gupta (formerly at Matrix Partners India). The firm invests exclusively in early-stage AI-native startups at Seed and Series A, writing initial checks of $1M-$10M, with a stated focus on the US-India corridor supported by offices in Bangalore (headquarters), Palo Alto, and Chennai.

The firm operates a core product (the Funds) and a programmatic offering, SwarmSpace, which combines a community, a 12-week AI Studio, and a research lab for AI builders. SwarmSpace provides selected startups with up to $1M in flexible equity funding and up to $600K in AI provider credits, alongside mentorship from the firm's 150+ founder and operator network. Together Fund does not develop proprietary technology; its value proposition is operator-led capital and operational support across product strategy, go-to-market, hiring, and scaling.

The firm's revenue model is conventional VC fund economics: it earns management fees (typically 2% of AUM) on its $200M+ in assets and participates in portfolio company exits via equity. As of 2025, the firm has invested in 35+ portfolio companies across Applied AI, AI Infrastructure/Tools, Healthcare AI, Consumer AI, and AI Services, with stated follow-on funding rates above 40% of portfolio companies.
