  Prosus Ventures is the venture-capital arm of Prosus, the Amsterdam-headquartered global consumer-internet
  and technology group (part of the Naspers group), founded in 2015 to make early-stage and growth-stage
  technology investments in high-growth markets outside the United States and China. The firm invests to
  "fuel the ecommerce flywheel," backing companies across food delivery, fintech, consumer services,
  logistics, e-commerce and marketplaces, plus a strong and growing focus on early-stage AI startups that
  reshape the e-commerce value chain (shopping and advertising tech, customer support, AI agents and
  operations) and frontier technologies such as quantum computing, robotics, space and biotech. Prosus
  Ventures typically invests from seed through Series B and into growth rounds, with a primary geographic
  focus on India, Latin America and Europe, plus activity in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and ANZ. In
  fiscal year 2025 the group committed and invested over $400 million across 40+ closed transactions,
  including roughly $88 million into AI. Its public portfolio spans 80+ companies including Meesho, Urban
  Company, PharmEasy, Klar, ElasticRun, BandLab, Ema, Corti and Oxford Ionics. The venture team is led by
  CEO Martin Tschopp with regional heads across India, Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
