Investor Room · Seed round
We raise the way the forces buy.
Indian defence procurement runs on sealed bids: a fixed window, envelopes no one else sees, and a decision on merit. Our round runs the same way. Read the deck in our Deck Room, seal a non-binding indication, and we open every envelope together when the window closes.
Rolling window. Indications are read as they arrive.

Confirm your work email with a one-time code. The deck opens in the browser. It can’t be downloaded, and every page carries your name.

Read the deck
The round size, terms, the build plan and the numbers behind them are inside the deck, not on this page. Take your time; come back as often as you like.
- 03 / Seal
Seal an indication
From inside the deck: your cheque band, whether you would lead, and what you bring beyond capital. You get a numbered receipt, and you can amend or withdraw until the window closes.
The biggest cheque doesn’t win by default. We are building systems for soldiers on a multi-year hardware timeline, and we choose partners for that.
- Fit with defence. Experience with the armed forces, DPSUs, iDEX or MoD procurement, and the doors that experience opens.
- Patience for hardware. Comfort with trials, certification and long procurement cycles before revenue.
- Ability to lead. Who can set terms and anchor the round.
- Cheque size. It matters, after the three above.
Sealed means sealed
Only the founder sees an indication. Nobody else in the room ever sees your name, your firm or your number. The public counts on this page show how many, never who.
Non-binding
An indication is interest, not a commitment. Nothing on this page or in the room is an offer of securities; any investment happens only through definitive documents.
Confidential
The deck is shared with you alone. Bortex sees which pages you read and for how long, so we can answer the questions you actually have.
By invitation
A work email opens the room. From a personal address, or from a firm we haven’t met yet, you can request access and we will reply quickly.
Read first. Then seal.
