# Patient Capital

On 2026‑09‑24 I met Pranav Condur of Stellaris Venture Partners at The Residency Bangalore to discuss how patient capital can fuel deep‑tech and fintech pre‑seed ventures in India.

- VC decisions rely on quantitative models (“the maths that a VC runs on”) rather than consensus.

> the maths that a VC runs on


> why an IC never decides based on consensus


> TAM size


- Core evaluation metric: TAM size.
- Stellaris is launching new initiatives to support idea‑stage startups, addressing the scarcity of patient capital.
- Indian deep‑tech founders often succeed by building within constraints (capital, policy, infrastructure).
