Day Zero Capital for Bold AI Builders
At Boldcap, we back AI-native startups led by Indian founders building for the world. We move fast, bet early, and go deep. We’re now looking for a Forward Deployed Investor to join our core team, someone who gets the AI moment we’re in and wants to be in the room where it’s all happening.
If you’ve been tracking frontier AI papers, new model launches, stealth startups, or open-source infra before it hits TechCrunch, we want to work with you.
What You’ll Actually Do (Who is an FDI?): An FDI is someone who…
- Writes thesis drafts in Claude like it’s their second brain and arrives at POVs across categories and markets.
- Feels that meeting builders is play, not work.
- Doesn’t shy away from slipping into DMs when needed and finds a way to get introduced.
- Spins up WhatsApp groups to make intros for founders they meet.
- Embeds forward into builders stuck in the idea maze before there’s a product.
- Watches open-source repos like they’re founder résumés.
- Lurks in AI webinars and prosumer tool community groups to absorb new information.
- Respects the founder’s time because they think like one.
- Doesn’t believe in “lack of access” as an excuse but believes in earning the right to invest.
- Writes because they can’t not write; ideas and thoughts need an outlet.
- Reads ArXiv, pricing pages, and comments on X threads.
- Tracks LLM evals harder than IRRs.
- Sees the wedge before the world sees the category.
- Spends time in student clubs and computer science clubs in colleges.
- Talks in products. Thinks in markets. Acts before consensus.
Who we are: Boldcap is a seed VC firm investing in AI-native companies led by Indian founders globally. We’ve backed breakout startups from Day 0, co-invested with the best AI funds, and we’re just getting started.
