Vee Vault Capital, a global investment platform backed by the family office of Chocko Valliappa, has invited applications for its first cohort of 10 high-potential founders building ventures across technology, healthcare, manufacturing, AI-enabled services, sustainability and new-age digital platforms.
The initiative is being launched in collaboration with IT services firm Vee Technologies and the century-old The Sona Group.
The programme aims to provide strategic mentorship, global market access, operational expertise and patient capital to help entrepreneurs accelerate their journey from promising ideas to scalable global businesses.
Selected founders will participate in a structured 100-day mentorship programme, gaining access to an ecosystem of experienced entrepreneurs, industry leaders, advisors and investors. Startups that successfully complete the programme will become eligible for an initial seed investment of Rs10 lakh from Vee Vault Capital.
“Entrepreneurs don’t just need funding — they need velocity,” said Valliappa.
“Having built businesses across generations and geographies, we understand the challenges founders face. Vee Vault Capital is designed to provide the strategic guidance, global exposure and patient capital required for ideas to scale into enduring institutions,” he added.
Operating with a global investment outlook while remaining rooted in entrepreneurial values, Vee Vault Capital currently maintains capital pools in Singapore, Dubai and Bengaluru.
The platform draws upon four generations of enterprise-building across education, manufacturing, technology and healthcare through The Sona Group, combined with the global operating experience of Vee Technologies, which operates in seven countries.
Vee Vault Capital aims to act as a bridge between visionary founders and global markets by offering structured mentorship, disciplined capital and long-term partnerships.
The firm’s current portfolio includes high-growth ventures across specialty manufacturing, fintech, deep-tech biotech, healthcare AI and digital logistics, such as Atomgrid, Borderless, Epigeneres Biotech, Interactly.AI, Custiv and Warehouse Now.
While sector-agnostic in its investment approach, Vee Vault Capital sees strong opportunities in deep tech, sustainability, manufacturing innovation, fintech, health-tech, digital infrastructure and consumer technology.
The platform combines operational leadership with financial discipline, bringing expertise in early-stage evaluation, due diligence, portfolio strategy and founder mentoring.
