I am a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist. As a venture capitalist I partner at inception/early stage with pioneers who are changing the way people work, live and play. As an entrepreneur I co-founded 3 companies in my 20s, including VXtreme, which was acquired by Microsoft to become Windows Media, iBeam Broadcasting (NASDAQ:IBEM) and Rivio/CPA.com. I have had the fortune of championing entrepreneurs of over 60 companies, of which 18 have gone public and another 27 have been acquired. Some of my past notable investments include IPOs of Akamai, Lyft, HashiCorp, Makemytrip, Persistent Systems, Poshmark, SolarCity, Matrimony.com, Tejas Networks, and acquisitions of Brighter/Cigna, CloudGenix/Palo Alto Networks, CloudSimple/Google, Elastica/Symantec, Gigya/SAP, Nuvia/Qualcomm, Portworx/Pure Storage, StorSimple/Microsoft, Wichorus/Tellabs, Volterra/F5 and Zenprise/Citrix. I grew up in India, where I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, and got my masters from Stanford University. I have been fortunate to be named as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and have ranked on the Forbes Midas List of Top 100 Tech Investors seventeen times, including being named top 5 in 2020, 2022, 2023 amd 2024.

🚀 I am a tech enthusiast with a strong passion for crafting elegant solutions and optimizing user experiences by leveraging my unique blend of technical proficiency and strategic thinking ability by using data to drive decisions ensuring seamless user journeys. 🎓 In over 4 years in software development, I found myself increasingly interested in understanding the 'whys' behind decisions and prioritizations which prompted me to think critically. This led me to pursue a Master's in Product Management from Carnegie Mellon University to learn the intricacies of the job and develop a fearless PM mindset. Here are some highlights of my work: 🚀 I have been awarded for identifying inconsistencies in user flow across brands and fixing them in my work. 👩🏻‍💻 My team won first runners-up in a company-wide annual hackathon and our solution was implemented with me receiving an individual award of 'Coding Diva' for the solution 🤝 I have organized and anchored in several events during my undergrad including a TEDx event. 🗣 I am a Google #IAMRemarkable facilitator for self-promotion and take pride in uplifting women morale's in workplaces. 🌐 I am now excited to apply my analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and communication prowess to lead cross-functional teams and bring visions to life. 💬 Please reach out to discuss products and potential work opportunities. email: anika.yadav.work@gmail.com
