About

I was turned down by every VC I pitched when I tried to raise Polygon’s first round. No one wanted to bet on a scrappy team of poor Indian founders. The experience humbled me, but I also promised myself that one day I would build a firm committed to betting on underdogs, a firm that would invest in companies based on merit, not connections or pedigree. I feel extremely fortunate to now be in a position to have founded Symbolic and fulfill that promise.
