The AJVC process was fast, clear, and deeply founder-first. From the first call to the term sheet, it took just seven days. What really stood out was how hands-on the team stayed even after the paperwork ,guiding us through the entire documentation process and setting us up to focus on building instead of chasing admin.

From first form to final one-on-one to signed term sheets, took less than 2 weeks which is completely unheard of in the early stage investing. Working with ajvc/Aviral feels less like having an investor and more like having a third co-founder who has genuinely invested in helping you build something meaningful.

It has been an ideal experience partnering with AJVC. Aviral is a nice guy. Structured and methodical in his approach. By incorporating technological evaluations within their investment rubrics, AJVC is particularly able to eliminate prejudice, moral hazard and human inefficiencies in their assessments, while also becoming quicker in their TATs - a rare combination in the VC industry. Kudos to them! 

If you're building something that's challenging yet exciting and want a partner who truly understands the trenches, AJVC is one of the rare funds that actually shows up and gets their hands dirty.

AJVC has been more than just an investor - they’ve been a strategic partner from Day 1. Within weeks of onboarding, we had a clear Gantt plan, revamped our internal workflows, and built custom apps for everything from supplier tracking to inventory forecasting. If you're building a high-conviction consumer brand, there’s no better partner. They move fast, think clearly, and care deeply.

Fundraising is usually a long process. Endless meetings, painstaking diligence, and legal back-and-forth drag founders away from what matters most: solving problems for customers. With AJVC, our story was different. We received a term sheet in days, not months. The entire process was laid out step by step. Couldn't have asked for a better start to this journey as first-time founders!

AJVC has been one of the most hands-on and helpful partners in our journey. The process moved quickly -we had a term sheet in under two weeks - but what stood out even more was how thoughtful and sharp the team was right from the first conversation.

We feel lucky to have AJVC on our cap table. If you’re looking for an early investor who brings energy, clarity, and skin in the game, this is the team you want backing you.

For any founder looking to learn how to execute well, the AJVC application process itself is a valuable lesson in itself. It's been delightful and educational experience from start to finish. In many ways, Aviral has become like a third co-founder to us – someone we look up to and trust. Being a part of AJVC has unquestionably been one of the best decisions we’ve made on our startup journey.

We first heard about AJVC on LinkedIn and applied on their website the very same day. To our surprise, we received a positive response the next day for a second-round discussion. By Day 5, we had our final call with Aviral, and by Day 11, the term sheet was in our inbox. While the speed of investment was impressive, the real value began post-investment. While many VCs do reviews to track progress, AJVC does it to help you make progress- with mentorship at every step.

AJVC’s processes handled screening, modelling, and paperwork almost in the background; two days after our first call, a clean term sheet hit our inbox. Speed alone, though, isn’t what won us over. Aviral takes the time to understand the quirks of our business before weighing in. His questions are thoughtful - sometimes uncomfortably sharp - yet always aimed at helping us find the right answer rather than defending a fixed thesis. Available 24/7 for his founders, he’s always replied to our odd-hour pings with quick voice notes and pointed ideas.

AJVC’s speed of evaluation and decision-making is what truly stands out. They’re fast and super process-driven — which makes you put your thoughts down and think through while in the application process. They really get what it means to be at pre-seed - the unknowns and the kind of assistance that’s actually useful at this stage. The regular support post-investment in terms of planning, prioritizing, or just having someone to bounce ideas with is very helpful. 

We joined AJVC as first-time founders with more uncertainty than answers, yet Aviral never made us feel inexperienced. Every question, no matter how basic, was met with a calm and patient explanation that lifted our confidence. He has also built an environment where we can share any issue without editing ourselves. We can raise anything from hiring gaps to compliance nitpicks and trust that his first instinct is to help. We know the goal is to find a fix, not to judge. This keeps problems small and solvable.

AJVC has been one of the most founder-friendly investors we’ve come across, both in speed and in depth.
From the first touchpoint, the process was incredibly fast. We filled out the form, had just one virtual conversation, and had a term sheet in hand within about two weeks. There was no endless loop of “one more call” or vague maybe’s; they moved with real conviction once they understood the business.
What stood out was how deeply they went into our industry and competitors in a very short time.

What stood out most is AJVC’s unwavering support even after the investment. Aviral has been an incredible enabler, offering guidance, connections, and a level of flexibility we never expected. It’s been amazing to work with someone who not only invests but actively helps you navigate the thick and thin of the entrepreneurial journey. In short, AJVC has been more than an investor—they've been a partner who’s truly committed to our success. And that’s made all the difference.

My bet - AJVC will reshape India's startup ecosystem. In place of opaque, slow, vibe-based fundraises, you now have AJVC - transparent, fast and data-backed. Getting a funding decision in 2 weeks and the money in 2 months - this kind of speed is unheard of among early stage investors in India. Equally important, Aviral is an enabler who "does", not just talks - quick intros to people in his extensive network, hiring support, and building access to a community of ambitious founders who support each other.
