Testimonials

    I had no finance background and honestly didn't think I stood a chance in VC. Kamini helped me reframe my story, prep for the case study. I got the offer.

    I'd been applying for months with zero responses. Kamini looked at my resume and immediately saw what I was missing — I wasn't speaking the VC language at all.

    I came in expecting validation. Kamini gave me something better — clarity. She asked the hard questions I hadn't thought to ask myself, and that changed the direction of our pitch entirely.
    Priya, Co-Founder Fintech Startup

    Kamini reviewed my deck and completely changed how I was telling my story. She helped me see my startup the way an investor would. We closed our pre-seed round 3 months later

About me

I've spent the last decade in early-stage venture investing, backing founders from their very first deck to their first term sheet. Currently, I work as AVP in the investment team at Gemba Capital looking at pre-seed and seed stage companies. Whether you're trying to break into VC or figuring out if your idea is VC investible — I've sat on both sides of that table, and I'm here to help you navigate it. I know the startup world inside out and can guide you on market trends, competitors, and smart ways to grow your business. On Top Mate, I open up a small slice of my time for two types of people I genuinely enjoy helping: 1. Aspiring VC professionals — whether you're prepping for your first analyst interview or trying to break into the industry with no traditional finance background 2. Idea-stage founders — who want an honest, experienced read on whether their idea is VC-backable before they go all in My slots are intentionally limited — so when you book time with me, you get my full, undivided attention.
