Venture Catalysts (VCats), India’s first integrated incubator, is planning to expand to the UK. The company has entered into a partnership with JPIN, a Euro-Asia focused VC, a startup mentor and a global advisory.
With this partnership, VCats will build a Euro-Asia corridor for Angel investors for investing and nurturing early-stage Indian ventures.
Nayan Gala, Managing Partner, JPIN Venture Catalysts, UK, said, “We see the Euro-Asia corridor to be indispensable in providing startup and scale-up collaboration and growth capital across borders. There has been a significant increase in trade between India and the UK in the last few years, currently estimated at £20 billion. We are very excited to partner with VCats to provide the Euro-Asia investor community with vetted startups.”
Anuj Golecha, Co-Founder, Venture Catalysts said, “VCats already has a strong presence in Middle Eastern and South-East Asian business communities, and the current expansion to London is aimed at presenting a more comprehensive global presence while catering to the great business environment and opportunities present there. Apart from gaining access to the spirited start-up community in London, a big positive for us has been seeing the warm response from the expatriate and Euro-Asian business community here.”
