I’m Ash (Ashutosh Kumar), General Partner & CEO at Expert Dojo — a global venture firm with $100M+ AUM and 250+ investments across 30+ countries. I started as an operator, building businesses from the ground up, and today I invest early and work closely with founders to help them scale across markets. At Expert Dojo, we go beyond capital — supporting founders with growth, positioning, fundraising strategy, and global expansion (India ↔ US). I’ve reviewed thousands of pitch decks and worked with founders across stages, which gives me a clear view of what actually works — and what doesn’t. Who this is for: Founders • Fundraising strategy, pitch clarity, investor mindset • Growth bottlenecks, GTM, and scaling globally Investors / Executives • Understanding venture as an asset class • Diversifying into early-stage opportunities • Building access and perspective in private markets Operators & Aspiring VCs • Breaking into venture capital • Transitioning from engineering → management → investing Career & Life Transitions • Higher studies abroad • Moving from Tier 2/3/4 backgrounds to global opportunities I also enjoy conversations beyond business — psychology, philosophy, and how to think about long-term decisions and building a meaningful life. If you’re booking time, come with context. I keep my availability limited each week.
