Darshit Vora, GP at @sparrowcapvc, has been in VC since 2014. he built Sparrow from a ₹4 crore fund to ₹475 crore, backing 40+ startups like @superhealth_ind, @gokwik and Apnamart along the way. one of the things we’ve always wanted for our founders is one-on-one time with partners of venture funds. yesterday, for week 5 at @residencyBLR, Darshit did exactly that. he sat with every founder, went through their decks, answered every question, helped whoever was stuck figure out their next step, and connected a few of them to people on the spot. easily one of the best sessions our founders have had. one founder asked how to pitch autonomous drones when the market in India barely exists yet. he said- don’t just build a story the investor has to buy. say what you actually believe. and be ready for “how will you crack that market?” he was v particular about the co-founder checklist. he said it's like marriage and you've to agree on- > what each of you needs to live on > what's your working style > building in public, or not > who’s CEO, and whether everyone’s okay with it > whether you can all go 2-3 years without a salary thank you Darshit, for giving every founder your time. looking forward to hosting you again :) p.s. applications for our next cohort are open, link in the comments.
