A electrical engineer by education, startup founder turned venture investor by profession and a tech optimist at heart.
In my journey of founding, building, investing & exiting technology startups, I've met passionate entrepreneurs with a purpose. My independent ‘conviction’ on the founders and their mission - a combination of belief (heart) & experience (mind) has motivated me to support their dreams across the journey of company building.
What I offer
Early Stage Investor
Over the past 4 years, we've been selective in advising /investing startups across Europe, SEA, MENA, and India.
At MyAsiaVC, we currently sit at 85% hit ratio on 34 startups (hit ratio: companies going beyond Series A (10 mn$+ capital raised and/or offered liquidity to early shareholders).
Run a venture builder & investment management company that aims to support early-stage and growth startups across hiring an A + team, product-market fit, brand positioning, operating systems & processes, organisational structure, culture, growth and capital raise from Seed, Series A, upto Series B.
Startups often have limited resources and at that time each wrong decision can potentially kill the business.
As a mentor, I've helped startups in different situations: venture lacks growth momentum; has immense potential but lacks investors interest; stuck in myriad organisational problems.
In today's venture ecosystem, sadly, founders don't share much with their investors for fear of being judged. With co-founders on the same boat, there is a lack of unique perspective beyond a listening ear.
Having a coach who works hands-on & offers an unbiased yet experienced perspective helps.
