Any bad VC stories?
Any experience of sleeping with the wrong VC in your company's investors? How did they harm you or affect you? Need names pls
I'll start - One of the older VC firms with an office in Indiranagar (also probably planning to shut their scout vehicle fund after a few employee exits) reels of toxicity at the helm. GP who comes from a rich family has the habit of arm twisting employees and putting them down even on the smallest of the mistakes. What's your toxic VC story?
I donโt think VCs have been successful in India. They took wrong bets, followed their US counterpart like sheeps, and created a completely rotten ( growth at all cost) ecosystem in India. If there is someone whom I would like to remove from startup ecosystem in India even before founders, it would be VC operating from India
What is your read on Indian PE market? Have they followed their VC counterparts in the way you've mentioned?
Lmao, do you work at swiggy Uberdouche? And do you see the irony in that?
My experience with lightspeed has been very very bad
Really? What happened?
Partners are very condescending. Have interacted with 3 of them on separate occasions and never get a good vibe. And i have interacted with most top Indian and global VCs
Are they toxic towards their portco?
There's Antler in Indiranagar

After going through so many posts on grapevine..I feel like all the startups in India are toxic only ๐๐
Really want to know which are the startups worthy of joining? Preferably in product roles
Bold of you to keep "non-toxic" and "startup" in the same sentence. ๐
