Bill Gates, Ranjan Pai and Mohandas Pai invest in Capria

BENGALURU: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Aaarin Capital co-founders Ranjan Pai and TV Mohandas Pai are among the top investors in Capria Accelerator.
US global investment firm Capria, which manages two ventures—Unitus Seed Fund and Capria Accelerator, was founded by Dave Richards and Will Poole in 2012. Capria Accelerator provides startup fund managers with seed capital, mentoring, fundraising support, investment evaluation support, and access to a growing global network of early-stage fund managers.
Leading impact investors and foundations have committed to invest in and/or support Capria to help unlock more than $500 million in global impact capital over the next 10 years. Crystal Springs Foundation and Lemelson Foundation are also among top supporters who commit to Capria Accelerator. “I have long been a proponent of market-based solutions to help improve lives,” said Gates.
Pai said they are firm believers in the importance of helping establish fund managers who will invest capital based on well-researched strategies and support entrepreneurs who will build large, profitable, and sustainable businesses.
