Have learnt from fellow founders that he has habbit of going back on his word after giving termsheet. He does not have a spine and only relies on FOMO to invest. Another founder told me that he is known for throwing his founders under the bus in crisis situations.
He certainly relies on fomo to invest, he invested in several crypto cefi platforms during peak 2021 mania without any understanding of crypto as technology
Yes and now barking about AI on Twitter without any understanding of AI
The real losers are LPs who get sold on the salesman tactics of these VCs
It's all LP money that is going down the drain, and they have their own stupidity and greed to blame, no one else
Never in your life trust Vaibhav. He did the same with me earlier. Showing interest and making false promises to invest. Later turned his back, without giving any reason. You cannot trust him at any point in your life. His burning portfolio is his karma.

He was one of only a few who understood the problem we are trying to solve and gave meaningful feedback.
Was nice to talk to in our investment meeting. I definitely came out with positive vibes after his meeting despite the talks not going further
In terms of moneybags, he is probably top 10% investor.
Talks 10x shit on Twitter and linkedin, but in real life meetings, not so much.
Doesn't disturb you much, the biggest benefit
Heard from ppl that he doesn’t give time to his investee companies & he charges a success fees for being on the cap table. He’s also known for low balling founders on the valuations , any experience?
Best part of this shitshow is when ...
Which Indian VC investor is a no-go and why? Share in person’s name - fund - reason(s) format if possible
Know a cousin who is a founder. Tells me with experience that VCs in India only operate in FOMO. Unless you tell them another VC is looking to invest in you, they will NEVER invest in you.
They need fomo to operate
Only exception...
Absolutely sad to see the state of the startups, most of them. I am a founder myself, and this is a post with equal disappointment with myself as much as it is for anyone else who relates. Look at all these companies that have raised s...
