Fantastic to see Ilya Strebulaev highlighting Indian colleges and their global impact on entrepreneurship. Proud to see my alma mater BITS Pilani in 5th spot just behind IIT Madras. Bet that BITS ends up in top 3 in the next 5 years.

We just backed a founder for the second time (guess who 😉). It’s just him, pre-idea, pre-everything. Would love to support more founders at the earliest stages. Shoot us an email at [email protected] if you’re looking for a $200K first check to go all-in. Include your

I’ve quietly invested in 30 funds over the last 8 years. Here's what I focus on and why. (if you want to co-invest with me as an LP, see the next tweet)

My co-founder Raj Sheth has used cold outbound to * bootstrap a SaaS businesses to >$4M in revenue * acquire a co * sell a co to a PE firm * close LPs for Inuka Capital He's running an invite-only workshop in BLR next week to help founders with outbound sales 🧵

I like to joke that summer is when the world realises that London exists. We need folks from SF and India to spend more time in London!

Rohan is a force of nature. Highly recco.

Quick update: ittybit are acquiring StreamPot and StreamPot will be closing down at the end of October. Thanks to everyone who used StreamPot, tried it out, gave me advice, contributed etc. I won't pretend this is a big success but I've known Paul Anthony Williams since day one

Finally got to meet Rishabh Kaul this week in London after many years working together from Lagos. It felt so unreal meeting him in person. Coincidentally I was wearing my Appsmith hoodie 👌

So Harmonic just released their Hot 25 Report on the most in-demand early-stage companies. Biggest Story… 24 New Entrants compared to 11 last report. @lovable_dev remains at #1 Peec AI enters at #3 Payflows in at #5 What do all these 3 have in common…? They’re all

Cybersecurity is a huge industry that needs a paradigm shift: that’s why Plural, alongside my dear friend Ott Kaukver, is leading an $8.3 million Series A into Arcjet, a company that can become the next Cloudflare in the modern era of web development.

Congrats @arcjethq team on your Series A from Plural Legacy tools see packets. Arcjet sees users, behavior, and biz context. The perimeter is eroding - real security context lives in code so devs can ship faster w/ confidence. Thanks for letting me be an early backer

BITSian for life!

I wonder if the whole FIRE movement (atleast in my circle) was mostly boredom/lack of inspiration. I saw a lot of chatter from young 20 and 30 somethings around the pandemic. Since the advent of GenAI - the same folks are and now talking about working harder than ever.

Everyone loves the idea of being a founder until you’re 2 years in, pivoted 4 times, broke, and your family is asking when you’ll get a “real” job.
