About

A different kind of capital

i2 Investments is a founder-led investment platform deploying proprietary capital across private companies, public markets, and alternative funds. Founded by Abhishek Goyal, i2 brings together two decades of experience across global hedge funds, private markets, and structured credit — with a hands-on approach that goes well beyond the cheque.

01

Direct Investments

We back high-conviction founders building in large, underserved markets. We work closely as sounding boards, connectors, and strategic partners — helping unlock growth, avoid missteps, and build lasting momentum.

02

Fund Partnerships

We partner selectively with venture, credit, and alternative fund managers — engaging across the full lifecycle, from thesis shaping and diligence to co-investments and follow-ons.

03

Advisory

We work with family offices and UHNIs on strategic asset allocation, portfolio construction, and fund manager selection — drawing on an IC track record spanning equities, credit, and alternatives across geographies.

"At i2, we believe great investing is built on relationships, clarity, and long-term conviction. Proprietary capital means no external mandates, no short-term pressures — just patient, high-conviction decision-making."

For Founders

We back founders building
what didn't exist before.

We invest in founders at various stages — typically where we can add meaningful value beyond capital. We're not passive capital. We show up when it matters: in a tough fundraise, a key hire, a strategic pivot, or a moment of doubt.

Our founders know they have a genuine partner in their corner.

  • ◆Strategic sounding board — market positioning, product decisions, competitive dynamics
  • ◆Network access — introductions to customers, co-investors, senior talent, and fund managers
  • ◆Fundraising support — from narrative shaping to investor introductions across subsequent rounds
  • ◆Financial and legal perspective — drawing on deep experience in structured credit, public markets, and capital allocation
  • ◆Long-term alignment — proprietary capital means we're not driven by fund timelines or external mandates
"The best capital is the kind that's still there when things get hard. Proprietary capital and a long-term horizon mean we're aligned with our founders through cycles, not quarters."

For Family Offices

Rigorous perspective.
Genuine alignment.

We work with family offices and UHNIs who want an experienced, independent voice on portfolio construction and fund manager selection — someone who has sat on both sides of the table.

With two decades of investing across public equities, private markets, structured credit, and alternatives, Abhishek brings a genuinely multi-asset perspective to every advisory engagement.

  • ◆Fund manager selection and diligence — across venture, growth, credit, and alternatives
  • ◆Strategic asset allocation — building portfolios that are genuinely diversified across cycles
  • ◆Co-investment access — deal flow from our direct portfolio and fund manager network
  • ◆Investment Committee participation — independent oversight and rigorous challenge
  • ◆Structured credit expertise — category II AIF management, NCD and SDI evaluation
"Family offices often have capital but lack the deal flow, network, and specialist depth to deploy it well. That's the gap we fill — with candour, not just credentials."

The Founder

Abhishek Goyal

Abhishek Goyal

Founder, i2 Investments

Two decades of investing.
One consistent approach.

Abhishek has spent over two decades investing across global public markets, private companies, and alternative funds — building a track record that spans multiple asset classes, geographies, and market cycles.

He graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in Finance and Economics, and began his career at Andor Capital Management — an US$11B hedge fund in New York — covering global technology companies. He later moved to Hong Kong to lead Andor's expansion into Asia, with a particular focus on India.

Returning to India, he joined White Elm Capital, a $700M hedge fund, as Portfolio Manager managing an $80M public equities portfolio. He went on to co-found OnCourse Vantage, one of India's leading education and mentoring firms, and later Decimal Wealth Partners, a SEBI-registered PMS managing over US$15M in Indian equities.

Today, alongside leading i2 Investments, Abhishek is a senior leader at Grip Invest, a SEBI-regulated bond investment platform, where he oversees the Grip Fixed Income Opportunities Trust — a Category II AIF focused on structured credit and fixed income for institutional and sophisticated investors. He also serves on the Investment Committee of a large family office and as an Independent Director on the board of a publicly listed Indian company.

Across everything he does, Abhishek brings the same approach — rigorous analysis, long-term thinking, and genuine partnership.
