At Prithvi’s helm, Kunal has provided guidance on go-to-market strategies, helping us scale effectively. His ability to understand both the macro and micro elements of our business demonstrates his ability as a fund manager. He has always been responsive, thoughtful, and forward-thinking— qualities that make him and Prithvi Ventures stand out in a crowded field. Prithvi has repeatedly shown a desire to dive into the complexities of our business and understand why we build things the way we do. I believe this intellectual curiosity and desire to learn and grasp even niche sectors such as our own sets Prithvi Ventures apart from other venture funds and gives them the flexibility to find actionable investment opportunities poised for significant growth and impact. I would classify their approach to investing as entrepreneurial and, as a founder, I appreciate their desire to solve big problems and fix dislocations in markets.

Of all our investors, Kunal and the Prithvi team have been the most responsive to our investor updates and frequently reached out with suggestions, ideas for tackling current challenges, and potential connections. I have also appreciated their ongoing efforts in sharing best practices that they have seen from other companies and have found that has helped us think more deeply about how we can continue to improve our operations and communications. Further, I have deeply appreciated the Prithvi team's deep empathy for founders and the personal challenges that we all face at one point or another along the way. As a founder, one of the hardest things to find are people who are "in your corner" no matter what and who are there to support you personally to navigate and handle these challenges. Through our interactions, it has become clear to me that Kunal and Prithvi are in that rare group to whom I could bring any sort of challenge when I need of advice or just need someone to talk things through with. From our recent conversations, I have also been impressed by their commitment to clarify and quantify investing for impact in a way that I have not seen from other 'impact investors' we have spoken with (our current investors or otherwise). I have appreciated their support and push for us to develop a clear, increasingly quantified impact thesis backed up by third-party data. While challenging at our relatively early stage, I have begun to appreciate how this exercise has sharpened our thinking and improved our credibility with our corporate customers and would not have prioritized it as early without the Prithvi team raising this to us.
