How Stellaris Venture Partners upped its fund size to $225 million amid startup funding boom

Early-stage investor Stellaris Venture Partners said it has raised $225 million for its second India-dedicated fund, coinciding with an unprecedented funding environment fuelling the domestic startup and technology sector. The corpus mopped up by Stellaris is almost three times the size of its $90 million maiden fund, launched four years ago.

This makes the four-year-old Bengaluru firm among the largest in the seed-to-series A stage funds in India, a segment which has seen heightened interest over the past few years.
