Aisle raises $100,000 from investors in Valley and India

Aisle.co, an online club for single Indians, closed a seed round from angel investors from the Bay Area and India.

The $100,000 deal was closed on funding platform TermSheet.io from a group of high networth individuals that includes Anand Vijay of Microsoft, Shashank Mehrotra of Bigrock, among others.

Founded in July 2014 by Varun Able Joseph Kurien, the site has acquired 4000 users from 30 countries with India, UK, US, Singapore, and UAE topping the list.

“We will use this funding to scale up and expand horizontally,” said Kurien. The site apart from connecting urban single folk has a network of wedding related service providers from Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore.

“We will also use this capital to hire talent for our user relations team and improve back-end technology,” Kurien said.

“Able has built the service ground up. I liked what we saw in their core metrics, retention and was impressed with design sense and usability of the site. For a site like this to attract right users it needs the right sensibility,” said Shashank Mehrotra, general manager, BigRock.com and angel investor at Aisle.

This is TermSheet’s second deal to close. “We’re already working on closing another 3 seed deals and are building a solid team to help scale our process” said Vivek Durai, TermSheet’s CEO in a statement.
