    The first thing I liked about Nirmal was that he joined sharp at 11.15 the scheduled hour, demonstrating his respect for the time. Also, he was very helpful in answering all my questions regarding startups and gave me solid foundational knowledge about what is and what is not about start-up acceleration. He will surely be a great mentor for those serious about taking their startup to the next level. Thank you Nirmal for your guidance.

    Who gives valuable time at free of cost when it comes mentoring specially when the time is coming from a VC. But Nirmal Shah is one of the few VC, I assume who means and believe in true mentoring. Thank you sir for you time and valuable insights that pave my way to work upon my plans and pitch deck.

    He listen patiently and understand the situation, then gave their valuable insight. Normally people assume and jump over the conclusion, this what I really appreciate.

About me

I’m a Partner at GSF, where I invest in founders and startups who build with purpose, not noise. I work closely with early-stage entrepreneurs across deeptech, AI, SaaS, fintech, and consumer innovation - backing conviction early and staying involved as a mentor through the hard years. Before venture capital, I spent over two decades building and scaling businesses: from leading global delivery at TESCRA to co-founding Countingwell. I’ve also helped pioneer early B2B marketplaces as a CTO at Trade2Gain. Across every role, my focus has stayed the same: people, conviction, and clarity. I believe great founders grow through purpose, not hype - and my job is to help them stay true to it as they build.
