In India, where startup founders are young, technical, and quick to launch, the momentum is strong, but trust remains a hurdle.
2am VC's founders emphasize that companies in India take longer to grow compared to more mature markets like the US, citing the extended incubation period required for success stories in India.
2am VC's strategy focuses on patience and localized, application-based AI solutions in India's startup ecosystem.
The VC firm prefers to back companies building application-layer AI solutions rather than those working on foundational model development, highlighting the importance of strong technology and early customer acquisition.
