Building companies from the inside.
The portfolio is growing.
Kharaayo Inc. is a Year-2 venture studio with one venture approaching its first outside raise, two in earlier stages, and a services engine funding the build. If any of that is interesting to you, this is the right page.
Two ways to engage. Both real.
ProLeap — Seed Round
Kharaayo’s education and talent platform, currently seeking outside investors as it prepares to graduate as an independent company. Kharaayo Inc. remains the majority shareholder and strategic parent after the raise. Outside investors take a minority stake at a negotiated pre-money valuation. This is the live, specific investment opportunity.

Investors interested in the broader venture-studio thesis — future ventures, ecosystem access, or a longer-term relationship with Kharaayo as a company builder — can engage as ecosystem partners. This is not a formal fund raise for the HoldCo; it’s an invitation to build a relationship that may include future venture opportunities, co-investment rights, or strategic partnership.
Get Ecosystem UpdatesProLeap — Seed Round
ProLeap is an education and talent platform built in Birtamode, Jhapa — addressing the structural gap between Nepal’s growing talent base and its access to real-world, professional-grade skill development.
What ProLeap is
A cohort-based, applied learning platform that takes young professionals from learner to intern to trainee to contributor — inside real-world projects, not classroom simulations. Instructors are active professionals from the Kharaayo ecosystem. It produces graduates who are meaningfully employable in creative-tech roles within Nepal and internationally.
Where it is now
- Active paying learners across multiple cohorts
- Operational team in place, running ongoing programs
- Digital platform in active development by Kharaayo Tech
- Preparing to incorporate as an independent entity with Kharaayo Inc. as majority shareholder
What the raise is for
The raise funds the infrastructure that unlocks scale — dedicated learning space, device access for learners who lack equipment, and the digital platform that removes the geographic and capacity constraints of the current offline model. A deliberate scale-up of proven demand, not a speculative build.
What an investor gets
- A minority equity stake in ProLeap as a standalone entity
- A company with real learners, real revenue, and a growing digital platform
- Kharaayo Inc. as majority shareholder and strategic parent — the team that built and runs ProLeap
- A 2–3 year payoff horizon for operational maturity, with longer-term upside in ecosystem influence and talent access
Target close: [PLACEHOLDER — confirm ProLeap raise target date with Daniel. Current planning: October 2026.]
What we’re not promising
A fast exit, guaranteed returns, or a speculative bet on an unproven model. ProLeap has paying students and real revenue. It is not yet at scale. The raise funds the path to scale from a proven base.

A venture studio compounding from the inside out.
Kharaayo Inc. is not an investment vehicle. It is a company — a venture studio that builds and operates its own ventures alongside service companies that fund the build. The HoldCo is bootstrapped and intends to remain so. What grows is the portfolio of ventures it produces.
Why the model creates value
The venture studio model is more capital-efficient than traditional startup building. Kharaayo’s internal ventures — ProLeap, Agenhost, Vetyo — were built at a fraction of the cost a standalone startup would have incurred, because the engineering, design, legal, and operational infrastructure was shared across the studio.
What compounds over time
Every venture Kharaayo graduates strengthens the studio’s talent base, refines its build methodology, and adds to the track record that makes the next venture easier to build and more credible to invest in. ProLeap graduates feed into the engineering and creative teams. Successful ventures attract more ambitious founders. The ecosystem feeds itself.
The Nepal opportunity
Nepal is not yet on the map of recognised venture-building geographies. That is the opportunity. The talent is here, the cost base is favourable, and there is no established creative-tech venture studio operating at the level Kharaayo is building toward. The first recognised name in this category from Nepal will have advantages that compound for a decade. Kharaayo is building to be that name.
What ecosystem partnership means in practice
Kharaayo is not currently raising capital at the HoldCo level. Ecosystem partners engage in one or more of these ways:
- As ProLeap investors — the live opportunity, described above
- As future venture investors — first look at Agenhost and Vetyo as they approach their own raises
- As strategic partners — introductions, market access, or domain expertise in exchange for a relationship, not equity
- As angel supporters — backing the ecosystem thesis before a formal raise exists for a specific venture
The investors we want to work with.
Kharaayo is building long-term. The investors who are right for this are ones who share that orientation. Three things we believe about investor relationships:
Alignment over capital.
The right investor brings more than money. They bring relevant market access, domain expertise, or a network that strengthens the specific venture they’re investing in. A cheque with no strategic value is a last resort, not a preference. We are slow to close an investor whose only contribution is the capital.
Honesty in both directions.
We will tell investors what is not working before they ask. We will share the difficult stage gate decisions — the ventures we killed, the pivots we made, the quarters where the thesis was tested. We expect the same directness in return. Investors who want only good news are not the right fit for an early-stage venture studio.
Long payoff horizons.
ProLeap’s 2–3 year payoff horizon is the shortest in the portfolio. Future ventures will require longer patience. Investors evaluating Kharaayo’s portfolio should be ones who measure returns in years, not quarters — and who understand that the value of a venture studio compounds in ways that don’t show up on a quarterly mark-to-market.
