Investor Profile: Getfive Funds — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

Ahmedabad- and Mumbai-based Getfive Funds received SEBI approval on 14 October 2026 for Getfive Opportunity Fund II, a Category-I Alternative Investment Fund with a ₹500 crore target corpus to invest in high-growth Indian SMEs. For founders asking how to get funding from Getfive Funds, this is the moment to understand what this SME-IPO focused house actually backs.

The funds: Fund I at ₹100 crore, Fund II targeting ₹500 crore

Getfive Opportunity Fund (Fund I), a Category-I AIF structured as a venture capital fund, was launched in December 2024 with a ₹100 crore target, held its first close in April 2025 and has raised roughly ₹61 crore so far, per the company’s own statements. Getfive Opportunity Fund II — approved by SEBI on 14 October 2026 — is aiming for a ₹500 crore target corpus. An important precision: that is the proposed target, not money already raised; fundraising has just begun. The AIF manager entity is Getfive Assets Advisors Pvt Ltd.

Thesis: the V3 framework for promoter-led SMEs

Getfive’s stated thesis is growth investing in promoter-led SMEs across Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 India, with “patient, conviction-led capital” and a preferred holding period of around three years — not listing-day trading. Its proprietary V3 (V cube) Framework evaluates deals through three lenses: Vision Through Promoter, Value Through Company and Velocity Through Industry. Its funds invest in growth-stage SMEs, including pre-IPO and SME-exchange-listed companies on BSE SME and NSE Emerge.

Sectors and one verifiable deal

Stated sector focus is wide: defence, aerospace, space-tech, deep-tech, precision engineering, manufacturing, healthcare, pharma, technology, financial services, consumer & retail, agritech, logistics & supply chain, energy & renewables, education and waste management. One publicly named exposure: in July 2026, Getfive Opportunity Fund-I bought 99,000 shares of Iware Supplychain Services at ₹365.25 per share (₹3.61 crore) in a bulk deal where investor Vijay Kedia separately raised his stake. No full portfolio list is publicly disclosed.

Team

Shrikant Goyal is Managing Director of Getfive Funds and Fund Manager — an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus with 15+ years across capital markets, corporate fundraising and structured finance, previously with Tata Capital and IDBI Bank, who has personally steered over ₹1,500 crore across 40+ debt deals and leads a 40+ member merchant banking team. Kanika Khandelia is named alongside Goyal as a founder of Getfive Assets Advisors. The firm operates from Ahmedabad and Mumbai.

How to apply for funding

There is no dedicated founder pitch form. The real routes are the website’s contact form at getfivefunds.com/contact, email [email protected] and phone +91-7859854403, all listed on the official site. Come with a growth-stage SME story — defence, deep-tech, manufacturing or pharma — and frame it through the promoter-first lens of the V3 framework. Note: the ₹1 crore minimum commitment sometimes quoted in coverage is the SEBI-mandated AIF LP floor, not a founder ticket — the per-company cheque size is not publicly disclosed.
