Exciting Portfolio Update: Prescinto Acquired by IBM! We're thrilled to announce a major milestone for one of our portfolio companies! Prescinto, a leading renewable energy AI company, has been acquired by tech giant IBM. This acquisition marks a significant success story in the clean energy sector and for the Indian startup ecosystem. Key Highlights: Prescinto, an IBM Company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Bangalore, has been transforming renewable energy asset management across 14 countries. LetsVenture first invested in Prescinto in January 2021, followed by a subsequent investment in March 2022. In less than three years since our initial investment, Prescinto has achieved this remarkable milestone. Prescinto's innovative AI-powered Asset Performance Management (APM) platform has been instrumental in simplifying operations and maintenance for renewable energy projects, maximizing ROI for global customers. With 16 GigaWatts under management, Prescinto has proven its scalability and impact. We're immensely proud of founder Puneet Jaggi and the entire Prescinto team for their vision, execution, and the significant impact they've created in the renewable energy sector. This acquisition not only validates Prescinto's technology and business model but also highlights the potential of Indian startups on the global stage. Congratulations to Prescinto on this phenomenal achievement! We look forward to seeing how this acquisition will further accelerate the transformation of the renewable energy sector worldwide. #LetsVenture #PortfolioUpdate #Prescinto #IBM #Startups

Do you think we all need that 'push' or 'nudge' to get going? A year ago, I started writing on Substack, determined to publish weekly. I managed to keep it up for 12 weeks, but eventually, I lost momentum. This year, we’ve formed a team and restarted. Our motto is simple: "Keep it Simple. Talk to a friend, not a Boardroom." We’re on a mission to make business concepts easy, interesting, and fun to read. I’ve heard from many friends that the world of startups, investments, and even LetsVenture can feel like an intimidating mystery. I also have friends globally who are curious about the startup scene in India. With LetsUnBox, we aim to break down those barriers and make the world of startups and investing more approachable, engaging, and relatable—100% Indian, with insights for everyone. Hopefully, this can serve as that 'nudge' we all need. My next post publishes tomorrow, but for now, sharing the first in our LetsUnBox series. Take a look: https://shorturl.at/HSxoi
