based origin story: at 15, @TheRealNamzoo watched a video about the most advanced drone company at the time and thought “I could probably do that”. then he built a drone and thought, “wait, I can actually do so much better” just crazy levels of ambition and will to execute.
Today we are proud to bring our portfolio company @airbound_aero out of stealth and announce it to the world at large. We met Naman Pushp, the founder, when he was just 17yrs old but by then he had already dropped out of CMU and spent a year building a VTOL prototype that blew

Since it's Dhanteras today, I have a small (money) update to share - @StimulerApp crossed 50000$ in revenue for Oct! (1st time) Few tidbits -- 13 countries are >1000$ monthly -- 5 continents are >1000$, Oceania missed narrowly -- 85% rev outside India! Happy Dhanteras all :)

We give $40,000 to student founders to start a company. Many founders told us how less money forced them to do the right things because they couldn't do many things, and they had to forcefully choose. Creating a simple principle that works > planning a complex one. The big

{hiring for https://t.co/HD5H2SXAOP} We are looking to hire for a full-time role in Bangalore. It's not technical, and involves helping us "build" out the fund. You don't have to constantly source the companies, but help the founders in doing projects that defines the fund:

We invest $200k in rebellious student founders
