Infinyte

Infinyte.club is a financial technology company positioning itself as a comprehensive wealth management platform tailored for the startup and technology ecosystem in India. Founded in 2021 by Joylita Saldanha and Ankita Tandon, with Vijay Sahil Sondhi as a founding member, the Bengaluru-based firm aims to democratize access to private market investments and provide liquidity for Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). The founders identified a gap where tech and startup professionals, who are building significant companies, often lack the means to reinvest in the very ecosystem they understand best or to liquidate their own equity stakes.

The company's core business revolves around providing access to exclusive, high-growth investment opportunities in private companies, which were traditionally reserved for a select few. It operates a platform that connects investors with curated seed, early-stage, and growth companies, allowing them to invest alongside top-tier venture capitalists and angel investors. For founders and companies, Infinyte offers tools to manage and track ESOPs, including solutions for providing liquidity to employees. The platform facilitates these transactions through a SEBI-registered angel fund, where each investment is structured as a separate scheme. Revenue is generated in part through a 2% transaction fee charged by the angel fund on each startup investment.

The platform's services are designed for a new generation of tech-savvy, self-made wealth builders, including startup employees, founders, and operators. It provides tools for users to track their assets, manage their equity portfolios, and unlock the value of their stock options. During its private beta phase, the company successfully closed over 40 primary and secondary deals and now tracks over $150 million in ESOPs. Infinyte.club has secured significant financial backing, raising a total of approximately $7.1 million over two seed rounds. A notable funding round in August 2024 brought in $3.6 million, led by Elevation Capital, with participation from prominent angel investors from India's tech landscape, including the founders of CRED, Meesho, and Unacademy.
