The firm focuses on investing in early-stage startups across sectors such as FinTech, AI/SaaS, Consumer Tech, HealthTech, Media/Entertainment, and Gaming. Eximius Ventures typically invests between $500,000 and $1 million in pre-product or early-traction rounds, often backing founders before they have a fully built product.

Eximius Ventures has invested in notable startups like Eka Care, Jar, Skydo, STAN, Oyela, and 30 Sundays. In January 2025, the firm launched its second fund with a target corpus of $30 million, aiming to invest in 25-30 startups across its focus sectors. The decision to establish a physical presence in Bengaluru reflects the firm's recognition of the city's significance in India's startup ecosystem, with 13 of its existing portfolio companies already based there. Eximius Ventures is led by Founder and Managing Partner Pearl Agarwal and Partner Preeti Nellore Sampat, both seasoned professionals with extensive experience in startup investing.
