I’ve joined Lightspeed India as VP Content.

Venture is one of the few places that puts you this close to the people building at the frontier, close enough to catch how the best of them think. I’ll be telling the stories of the founders we back and the outsized ideas they’re chasing.

There’s never been a better time to do this work for two reasons. 1) There’s more conviction than ever that content is where a fund can earn its edge. 2) A fund’s platform is one of the more useful things it can give its companies.

I’ve come to believe that a venture investor has an obligation to help the next generation of founders see what’s worth building by showing them the record of what came before and a glimpse of the future to be built.

Mostly, I feel lucky to be doing this.
