We are an early-stage venture capital firm backing the next generation of transformative companies in Texas. We partner with founders to build businesses that deliver both outsized returns and enduring social value.
Founded by seasoned operators and investors Doug Moore and Pratik Kodial, Tapasya Ventures was born from a shared passion for investment and giving back.
We are active, long-term partners for founders, providing value-added capital and mentorship to pre-seed and seed stage companies. We focus on B2B Enterprise Software Solutions across key sectors such as Fintech, Healthtech, Energy Tech, and Manufacturing, among others, helping to build businesses that truly matter.
We invest early in companies using modern technology to solve real-world problems.
Our focus is the Texas Triangle—a region experiencing unprecedented growth in innovation, talent, and capital formation. We believe this is the next great platform for responsible innovation, and pre-seed capital is the highest-leverage point to invest in that future.
We believe venture capital can be a powerful engine for both financial and social good.
Through our unique structure, a portion of our firm's profits are dedicated to The Tapasya Foundation, supporting education, health, and economic mobility in communities across Texas and India.
