Resiliencevc Bucks Trend, unveils a fund of $ 56 million to support technical technology working on financial integration
ResiliencevcThe new investment capital company in the Washington -based seed phase announces its first fund with a value of $ 56 million, the company that it shares exclusively with Techcrunch.
Tahira Dosani and Vikas Raj was founded in 2023, and the task of Resiliencevc is a clear task: to support technology companies dedicated to helping Americans find financial stability. She writes checks to companies that can help people face challenges such as becoming homeowners, obtaining reasonable prices and reaching government advantages.
Raj said: “We are invested entirely on young entrepreneurs who invest new technologies and new business models in the end to push the financial flexibility for all Americans,” Raj said. “For many Americans, the financial system does not do what it is supposed to do.”
The couple has a history of investing in companies that help enhance financial inclusion. They had previously worked together for several years as former management managers at the Accion Venture Lab Laboratory before they left to start Resiliencevc. Examples of their accomplishments include Dosani, which helps to launch the first mobile payment platform in Afghanistan while it was on the ground in the country and the establishment of Micronding in Bangalore, India, which sparked his interest in smaller financing and led him to invest in Fintech.
During more than eight years of investment in Accion, a global investor in the seed phase in the United States and in developing markets, the duo invested in more than 50 companies, including a number of Handicians. Dosani and Raj collected the capital for the first Resiliencevc box for about 18 months, with the final closure in late 2024.
Resiliencevc plans to create 25 investments from the fund, which the husband described as “excessive subscription” with a primary goal of $ 50 million. Conservative companies include Alicefor Chaizfor First Birdfor Lukewarmfor Mirzafor OS benefitsfor PartnerlateAnd SomaAmong other things. The initial investment of each company is about one million dollars. To date, 75 % – or six out of eight – from its governor companies are an incomplete representative.
“We expect to follow nearly 50 % of our companies, and they are looking forward to doubling our share in their next tour,” Dosani said. “This will depend on the performance of the wallet, but we will double our winners.”
The company’s limited partners are a mixture of institutions, banks, family offices, individuals and high -value institutions, and they include Metlife, Skall Foundation and Ally Financial, among other things.
It is worth noting that Resiliencevc is headquartered in DC Raj telling Techcrunch, so that he can benefit from its location and relationships with organizers and policy makers.
“We think it is an important place to be if you invest in Fintech in particular. This is the time of great change, almost daily change, in the organizational environment and the policy environment.” “I think it is very clear that every person in financial services needs deep links with decision makers, organizers, policy makers and heads of agencies. This is especially true in startups. So we put ourselves here in the capital as a channel for these entities.”
Dosani also believes that being outside the silicon Valley gives the company a observation point to see “the increasing number of founders who work in other cities throughout the country.”
In general, with Resiliencevc, the couple hopes to obtain a direction we saw in Fintech: companies focused on high -value customers or large institutions.
Often, low income to moderate or small American companies are “very small, risky, very difficult to obtain them in front of service”, and leave “a really large gap … for investors who focus on startups that use new technologies, such as Ai Fintech,” to build large profitable business while building everyone. “
He said: “We want to sit in this gap – and invest exclusively in the best emerging companies in the field of high technology that explicitly serve the comprehensive market.”
