Girish Mathrabootham of Freshworks run Together Fund. Rohit Bansal and Kunal Bahl run Titan Capital Many Series A founders are spending time angel investing than focussing on their companies. Have they lost interest in their startup or given up?
Am one of those founders, more money can be made from early stage investing and we have even better deal flow than VCs as we are pretty much in the ecosystem. The returns are exponential too like sometimes 50x or even more that’s why run ventures. And all the entrepreneurs you mentioned above have automated companies so it’s easy for them to dedicate time to dd
Feel the same. I guess they'll make better returns here than the venture they run. Classic case of burning VC money on PR and personal branding and then starting out their own ventures
Status games. Very few venture funds actually make good money. A lot of the "known" ones will just go off reputation. Judge them on exits.
Titan is what you get with corrupt founders accepted into the fold
Series A founders angel investing is a clear red flag. Together and Titan makes sense - they had major liquidity events and funding early stage is just smart portfolio construction. Their TVPI is not too bad as stage of entry is likely pre seed and VCs prefer to co-invest deferring to their prior operating experience.
