About Us
We specialise in investing in deep-technology startups based out of India
At Yali Capital, our compass isn’t just set on the new, but the groundbreaking. With a keen eye on sectors like fabless chip design, robotics, AI, aerospace, manufacturing, and genomics, we back those who don't just foresee the future, but those who build it. Hailing from India, a nexus of innovation and talent, we seek out startups with the potential to redefine industries and norms. While we might be the first institutional cheque you receive, rest assured, we’re in it for the long haul.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Fabless Chip Design
Powering the future with ingenious designs, from GPUs that redefine more than graphic processing to neuromorphic chips that supercharge modern AI.
Robotics
Breathing life into machines, from cobots that work seamlessly alongside humans to coordinated swarm robots that go where no human can.
AI & Generative AI
Crafting a new world of jaw-dropping solutions from Language Models to Computer Vision to Medicine, using Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI.
Aerospace & Defence
Flying to the sky and beyond, and guarding against threats new and old, from CubeSats providing affordable access to space, hypersonic propulsion redefining air travel, to modern radar technology.
Manufacturing
Taking production to new heights of precision and innovation, from 3D printing creating complex geometries to smart factories driven by data.
Genomics & Lifesciences
Making life better by going to the building blocks of life itself, from CRISPR enabling precise genetic edits to proteomics unveiling the secrets of cellular functions.
A combination of seed capital, follow-on investments, global networks and decades of operational experience is what sets us apart.
