Venturi Partners, a leading consumer-focused growth fund, announced the first close of its second fund (Fund II) at US$150 million on September 2, 2025, aiming for a final close of US$225 million by June 2026. Supported by existing and new investors, Fund II will invest US$15–40 million in 10 high-growth, purpose-driven consumer brands in India and Southeast Asia, capitalizing on rising consumer spending and favorable demographics. Building on the success of Fund I, which closed at US$180 million in June 2022 and backed companies like Livspace and Country Delight, the fund offers co-investment opportunities on a 1:1 ratio. Venturi’s strategy emphasizes close collaboration with founders and active board participation, leveraging deep operational expertise to drive sustainable growth.
