As a founder of Samphire, a longevity-focused women's health company, I have been privileged to work closely with Kunal and have first-hand experience of their unique and transformative approach to investment. When it comes to the quality of fund management, Ayuh stands out in excellence and a hands-on, partner-driven approach. The fund's astute strategic decisions and commitment to supporting the long-term growth of their portfolio companies have been instrumental in our journey thus far. The team is consistently insightful, responsive, and has provided the right blend of hands- on support when needed, while allowing us ample room to independently navigate our course. A standout theme across my interactions with Ayuh and their portfolio companies is the unique emphasis on fostering a collaborative ecosystem. The team has curated an outstanding group of founders, each of whom is driving innovations in sustainability and health. The culture at Ayuh encourages open communication and knowledge sharing among this group, an environment that is both rare and invaluable. This has allowed us to not only learn from the collective experiences of our peers but also to forge strong relationships that extend beyond the usual confines of business. I have also personally appreciated their resources for founders’ development journey and personal growth, which has enabled me to become a better leader of Samphire. In terms of collaboration, Ayuh's approach is commendable. The team works closely with the portfolio companies, not merely as investors but as strategic partners. They are always ready to roll up their sleeves and tackle issues, providing crucial advice during challenging times. Yet, they have the wisdom to know when to step back and let the founders lead, making them a valued partner in our journey.
Kunal's Longevity Fund has been an amazing support and ally for Beckley Psytech. The team is extremely open - giving constructive feedback and introductions whenever needed, and they are great at working with other investors and partners in the ecosystem. It is a pleasure working with them. In general, they understand the space very well and get straight to the point. I hope we continue to work together for a long time.
