First Institutional Vehicle · Q2–Q3 2026 · Confidential
India's top engineering institutions — IIT, IIIT, IISc — produce the world's most technically rigorous AI builders. A senior ML engineer with 3 years of production LLM experience costs $45–65K/year in India versus $380–460K total comp in San Francisco. The output quality delta is near zero. This is a structural arbitrage, not a temporary one.
AI is democratizing who can build. A 22-year-old IIT graduate with API access can now build what required a 50-person team in 2018. India has the talent density. The US has the enterprise demand. Fewer than 5 Bay Area GPs have active pre-seed operations in India. That window closes the moment Sequoia or a16z opens a Bangalore desk. Jetty Ventures is already there.

Focus Sectors
Bay Area-based founder and builder with deep India roots. Founded Jetty AI — currently operating three production AI products and a live research foundry with 10 active researchers from IIT/IIIT/IISc. Jetty Ventures is the natural extension of this infrastructure: a vehicle to back the founders building what Jetty AI has already proven can be built.
The GP is not a tourist in either market. Bay Area enterprise relationships + India talent pipeline access = a structural advantage that no fund-of-one in San Francisco can replicate without years of groundwork.
Live Proof-of-Work
All 5 products built and operated by Jetty AI Foundry. Actively seeking Indian AI founders to back at pre-seed.
First-Check Access
Entry at $1–2.5M post-money valuations before any Bay Area fund has seen the deal.
Co-Investment Rights
Pro-rata rights on follow-on rounds. Qualified LPs offered co-investment at entry valuation.
India AI Exposure
Diversified exposure across 10 companies spanning the full AI stack — infrastructure to consumer.
GP Alignment
GP is an active builder, not a career investor. Every portfolio company benefits from direct co-build support.
