At Athlos, Hybrid Athletes have always fascinated us. The ones who practice multiple sports. We've recently launched a technical collection for the hybrid athletes, we call it the Agile collection. Check it out here: linktr.ee/goathlos_commu…
Pro-tip : Send potential investors/partners social links, handles, video content, demo logins - anything that makes the startup come alive when pitching. Decks have become a bit passive and you want investors to either follow you or engage with your content. @AppreciateVC…
I would love for startups and teams to have higher quality merch that is loved to be worn. So for anyone looking to get amazing qual. tees, beanies, et al for your teams / merch - please ping @wanderingraptor who can sort you out with the kickass stuff from @GoAthlos.
Showed up. Crossed the finish line. Half marathon # 38 ✅ at @Marathon_Hyd Supercool fidget spinner medal 👏 I ran in @GoAthlos Zero Tee singlet & “Distance shorts” (with a liner & pockets). Both 3 yrs old & excellent for long dist running. (Not a paid post. I bought these)

Honestly - have seen *so* many founders infuriated by this behaviour of investors but not call it out. [safe space - share here if you'd like]
Angel investing isn’t about running the company for the founder. It’s about knowing when to help, and when to step back. A quick clip on what most angels get wrong (and what founders really want). @AppreciateVC
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. At Nexstem, we’re building a modular EMG wearable band that captures muscle signals in real time, turning arm gestures…
Not only does this move give me more runway & resources to keep investing w/ Appreciate 🚀, but it also lets me operate at the intersection I love most: building companies + backing exceptional founders.
Outplay is a world-class sales engagement platform helping teams automate outreach and close more deals. Excited to scale alongside Samar, @lax_outplay, @Papineni_Ram & the team. 𝘗𝘚. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘵, 𝘋𝘔. 💥💥
I’ll be working with my old friend @samarsingla (20 yrs & counting since IITD!). He’s been an early believer, is an LP at Appreciate, and a big reason I took this leap. (📷 from back in 2017)
At the same time, I’m taking on a new adventure as Chief Business Officer at @OutplayHQ. I’ve always been an operator, and it deeply feeds my investing. There’s joy in building. 🤌🤌
👉 We’re still actively investing from Fund 1. 👉 We’re continuing to raise Fund 2. 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘢𝘮.
Now building Fund 2: $30m to back founders with a World Positive & Gender Smart lens. Close to a third in committed capital & continue to raise. 👀 Fundraising is hard. And I mean really hard. Huge respect for emerging managers crushing it.
Fund 1 → operator-led, zero fee, carry only. Nearly fully deployed, with 2-3 fresh investments to go. Founders - Holler if you’re early & raising. 🙌
I started investing in 2016 with my first nano fund OperatorVC, later as an angel. In a 2020 sabbatical, I realised early-stage investing is what I want to craft my life around. That clarity grew into Appreciate Capital with @Sairee.

Most angels obsess over valuation. Few think about the risks that really move the needle. Here’s a 2-min clip on what *many* investors miss, and how portfolio math works. How do you size risk when you write small cheques? @AppreciateVC
