We’re excited to share that TrueFoundry has announced its $2.3 million seed round, which we co-led with Sequoia India.

As always with Eniac investments, a big part of our conviction comes from the impressive founding team. We were introduced to Nikunj Bajaj, Anuraag Gutgutia, and Abhishek Choudhary by Ashish Nagar (founder of another Eniac portfolio company, LevelAI). The three of them attended the India Institute of Technology Kharagpour together, and they founded a previous startup, EntHire, which was acquired by InfoEdge last year.
