Together Fund

Together Fund is an operator-led, AI-first venture capital firm that partners with visionary founders to build and scale AI-native startups. The firm focuses on early-stage investments, typically writing initial checks of $1M-$10M at Seed and Series A rounds. Their investment thesis centers on backing solutions that aim for 10x improvements rather than incremental changes, supporting lean teams with a speed advantage, and fostering companies that operate globally from day one. Together Fund emphasizes that AI shines brightest when it augments human capabilities, and they seek founders committed to building for long-term impact over short-term hype.

The firm was founded in 2021 by experienced operators and founders, including Girish Mathrubootham and Manav Garg, who had previously scaled companies across borders. Their motivation stemmed from a desire to be the kind of partners they wished they had as founders – offering not just capital, but also energy, speed, and hands-on operational support. Together Fund positions itself as India's first operator-led, AI-first venture capital fund operating within the US-India corridor.

Together Fund's portfolio showcases a diverse range of AI-native companies across various sectors. Notable investments include Emergent, an agentic AI IDE for software development; Applied AI ArchitectChips, focused on AI agents for chip design; Capitol, an AI content creation platform; Composio, a communication layer for AI agents; Confido, a multi-modal AI platform for healthcare operations; Gibran, specializing in Scale-Free Learning AI; Hunar AI, an AI recruiter for the frontline workforce; Metaforms, an AI market research platform; Presentations, a generative AI-powered presentation tool; Rapid Claims, an AI-led revenue cycle and billing platform for healthcare; Runable, a no-code/low-code AI workflow automation platform; and Spry Therapeutics, a PT clinic management software.

The team at Together Fund comprises experienced builders, founders, and operators who bring deep operational expertise to every investment. Key team members include Co-founders and Managing Partners Girish Mathrubootham and Manav Garg, General Partner Lakshmi Shankar, and Founding General Partner Shubham Gupta, among others. Their collective background allows them to provide hands-on support in areas such as product strategy, go-to-market planning, hiring, and scaling, actively co-creating the future with their portfolio companies.
