In 2020, Turbostart and angel investor Sandhya D contributed Rs 2.10 crore to Doqfy’s seed fundraising round. Business-to-business (B2B) SaaS-focused venture capital firm Pentathlon Ventures is situated in Pune. The company expected to invest in 20 businesses with an average ticket size of between Rs 75 lakh and Rs 3 crore in 2021 after closing its first fund at Rs 76 crore.
