From 2020 to 2022, Veda ran as a syndicate fund, when it had made 33 investments. “As operators, we understand how tough the founders’ journey is and having seen the ups and downs of building and scaling up a startup, we decided to start Veda to enable seed stage founders with the knowledge and network to make better decisions,” Alagathi said.
“They (Rao and Alagathi) are super responsive whenever you need anything and when we had a do or die moment for our company, they really stepped up in a way that was 10x more than I could have expected,” Even Health CEO Mayank Banerjee said in a statement.
