Hi, I'm Riya
a VC (in making)

I talk to a lot of founders and tried building a startup myself. I can source & filter the good founders building in the opportunistic markets and help your team to deep dive with them further.

As you will see below, I write a lot of IC ready memos as my side-quest that synthesize market dynamics, their unit economics, moats, fundamental signals, and risk factors into a clear investment narrative.

I have a background in fundamental equity research and I've built 3-statement models, DCF analyses, LBO frameworks, and scenario planning report before - all from first principles.

Primary and secondary research on emerging sectors, opportunity breakdowns, players mapping, and trend analysis. I typically focus on macro tailwinds, emerging behavior shifts, and structural market gaps.
