Breaking into VC-Backed Startups
How to Get Hired at a Funded Startup — Insider Playbook
About me
I sit at a rare intersection: a decade of global headhunting experience, now embedded inside one of India's most active venture capital funds - advising global portfolio companies on talent strategy and human capital.
I've recruited across India and global markets, placed leaders at high-growth startups, and now work directly with founders and CEOs on building the teams that scale companies from Series A to IPO.
Most people know what a recruiter does. Very few have sat inside a VC fund and seen what actually makes or breaks a hire at a funded startup.
I bring both sides of that equation to every conversation.
Whether you're a student figuring out how to break into startups, a mid-career professional navigating your next move, or a senior leader evaluating opportunities in the VC-backed ecosystem — I can help you see your career through the lens of someone who has hired, advised, and rejected thousands of candidates.
