Startup database Startupintros reports that the round was backed by Artha Venture Fund and led by Anirudh A Damani. It lists Shahani among the other investors, alongside Ajeet Khurana, Arjun Vaidya, Nitin Verma, Vivek Mathur, Habuild, Hyderabad Angels, Varun Aggarwal, TiE Angels and VCMint.
Startupintros says Cheerio will use the funds to expand its multi-modal AI capabilities and build proprietary small language models for workflow generation. Crunchbase gives its headquarters as Bengaluru. Shahani's individual cheque size in the round is not public.
Shahani has not published an investment thesis, preferred stage, or check size that we could find. His one recorded deal is a seed round in an AI workflow company in India. PitchBook tags that company as business and productivity software, at the revenue-generating stage. One deal is not enough to define a focus, so founders should ask him directly what he looks for.
