The fund aimed at the fast -growing market for the secondary employees will help to cash in part of their shares and at the same time give high people (HNI) and family agencies access to companies supported by VC.
The fund will support 30-40 startups in Fintech, Saas, AI, consumers and digital sectors with investments from RS1-4 Crore, the company said. Structured with an RS 100 Crore-Basiscorpus and an RS 100 Crore Groen-Shoe option, IronClad said it will collaborate with VC supported by VC to make structured ESOP income possible.
Founder Krishna Killa, a former private equity investor at Bain Capital, said: “Ironclad Ventures was designed to resolve a critical gap in the Indian startup ecosystem in Esop’s in early stadiums due to lack of liquidity.”
He added that instead of treating employees as ‘paper money’, the company will buy a small part of ESOPs in a structured way every quarter.
The company said that the approach will enable companies to rely more on ESOPs instead of increasing salaries, which ultimately improves the acceptance, retention and adaptation of employees with business growth. For employees they get a steady cash flow without diluting the majority of their esop’s. As part of this initiative, the Onboarding operators and investors Fund is in advisory capacity. Arpit Maheshwari, former venture capitalist at Stellaris Venture Partners, and Shrey Badhani, co-founder of Kapiva Ayurveda, are set. “Their perspectives in business structure, brand scaling, venture investment and ESOP structuring will supplement IronClad’s efforts to make value,” said the investment firm.
