Yaami Partners · by Manu Arya

I invest my own money first. Then I open the door.

A private co-investment circle for HNIs, and hands-on fundraising mandates for founders — run by an investor, not a broker.

For Investors

I'm an HNI looking for private-market opportunities

Curated, off-market deals between early traction and growth stage. Diligence done before it reaches you. I invest in every deal I share — entries start at ₹10 lakh.

I'm raising capital for my company

A working partner on your raise — strategy, positioning, and access to investors who have written cheques alongside mine. I only take mandates I have personally vetted.

Why Yaami Partners

Not a broker. Not a platform. An investor who opens his own deal flow.

Skin in the game

I don't recommend anything I haven't backed with my own capital. If my money isn't in, the deal doesn't reach you.

The right window

Entries between early traction and growth stage — after the idea risk, before the growth-fund repricing. Low-burn companies only.

Beyond the cheque

Members get post-investment updates, not silence. Founders get a cofounder-level partner, not an introduction service.

I have invested my own capital — and facilitated investments for members — in rounds alongside prominent Shark Tank India investors, one of India's most celebrated sportspersons, founders of India's largest retail broking house, a leading D2C founder, and institutional early-stage investors including a well-known micro-VC fund and one of India's largest angel networks.

A deliberate difference

Private-market entries from ₹10 lakh — built for HNIs starting their private-equity journey.

Allocations in quality rounds usually go to funds writing ₹5 crore and above. Aggregated, disciplined circle capital changes that math — so you can build private-market experience deal by deal, without concentrating your net worth in a single cheque.

How I think about deals

No market cheerleading. Notes on burn discipline, entry windows, and what real diligence looks like.
