Sthapit Capital
Building Global from Nepal
"Nepal is at an inflection point. The talent and opportunity are here, but early conviction capital is missing. That's where we come in."
We're a micro fund powered by founder capital and global networks. Our focus is simple: find high-potential Nepali entrepreneurs who can scale beyond borders and give them the capital, clarity, and connections to get there faster.
Our Sweet Spot
We invest ₹10L–20L in Nepali founders building global-first SaaS, export-ready brands, and high-growth ventures, turning early traction into unstoppable momentum.
Founders already in motion- MVP live, first customers, or early export batches shipped

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to reach you for funding discussions?
If you're a founder seeking funding, the best approach is to submit an application first. This helps me understand your startup better and ensures our initial conversation is productive. For urgent matters, email works well too.
Do you take meetings with early-stage ideas?
Absolutely! I'm happy to discuss early-stage ideas, especially during office hours. While I typically invest in startups with some initial traction, I believe in supporting founders throughout their journey and can provide guidance even at the idea stage.
Are you open to co-investment opportunities?
Yes! I actively collaborate with other investors, both locally and internationally. If you're interested in co-investing or have a deal to share, please reach out. I'm particularly interested in partnerships that can provide additional value to our portfolio companies.
Can you speak at events or participate in panels?
I enjoy speaking about entrepreneurship, investing, and Nepal's tech ecosystem. Please include event details, expected audience, and topic when reaching out. I'm particularly interested in events that support the local startup community.
