Made for the ascent.
Before it was Everest, before anyone had climbed it, the world's highest mountain was called Peak XV (Peak Fifteen).
Our name reflects the spirit of our firm. We see value before consensus forms around it. We back founders before the world agrees. And when we commit, we stay for the long climb to the summit.
A global VC firm with 20+ years of experience partnering deeply with founders to build enduring companies.
$10B+ assets under management, 450+ investments, 36 IPOs in 5 countries. We began our journey in 2006 as Sequoia Capital India, later expanding into Southeast Asia. In 2023, Sequoia Capital restructured its global business into independent entities, leading to the creation of Peak XV.
Today, as Peak XV, we invest across India, APAC, the United States, and other global innovation hubs. We are global not by aspiration, but by conviction, because building category-defining companies increasingly requires ambition, talent, and markets that transcend borders. We invest across stages and remain deeply committed through every phase of the journey, because enduring companies are built over decades, not cycles.
Founders come to us for a platform that multiplies value across every stage of company building.
Our 60+ member operating team brings the experience, perspective, and network that help companies scale globally. They work alongside founders across Finance, Human Capital, Legal and Compliance, Marketing, Technology and Product, Public Policy and Communications, Strategic Development and Capital Formation.
We help companies hire leaders, reach customers, raise capital, enter new markets, navigate key moments and prepare for scale.
We have an active community of 1,000+ founders who have been through the journey themselves. Access to people who have faced similar decisions and are willing to speak candidly about them, is often invaluable for founders navigating similar paths.
Peak XV brings together 1,000+ founders, 100+ global leaders and a 120+ member team of investors and operators across markets.
With teams across India, Southeast Asia, and the United States, we help founders tap into the networks, knowledge, and partnerships needed to scale across markets.
Our platform works across three dimensions: access, applied experience, and embedded partnership. We open doors to customers, talent, capital, and strategic relationships; bring pattern recognition from generations of companies; and work alongside founders through the critical inflection points of building.
This is how we help companies move faster, make better decisions, and stay ahead of what comes next.
We believe great companies can create compounding impact.
Over the last 20 years, more than a hundred global institutions have partnered with Peak XV as our Limited Partners. These include over 40 universities, over 30 charitable endowments and healthcare systems, as well as many of the world’s leading sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.
The founders we partner with build products, platforms and institutions that create jobs, empower communities and strengthen ecosystems. At the same time, many of our Limited Partners are mission-driven institutions, and the returns generated through our investments help support their work across education, research, healthcare, public service and society.
We think of this as an infinity loop: founders building the future and creating new jobs and industries, and long-term capital flowing back into institutions that help move society forward.
