“The valley is full of brilliant people, and I have had the fortune of meeting and knowing many of them. But, Ashu is in a league of his own! Brilliant, personable, engaging, sincere, humble - I could go on and on. If you get a chance to meet him, I say grab it! You will not regret it. I have now known him for about 15 years - as a friend, advisor, and an investor. First thing you notice about him is his infectious energy and sincerity. Underneath that, you will find an incredibly sharp and strategic mind. He is bold and engaging - never a dull moment with him! If you are building a startup, you won’t find a better partner than Ashu. He has that rare gift of being able to cut through the clutter and zoom into what’s really important at the moment. He can so effectively balance the big picture strategic thinking with near-term tactics. He is a great listener, is super curious, and gets into the details. He is patient, but demanding. He will push you, but in a constructive helpful sort of way.”

“Ashu has been an incredible investor, mentor and partner for me. He always makes time to connect and his ability to provide the right feedback at critical moments has been very helpful on our company journey. Ashu is generally not prescriptive in his feedback, which I prefer, but rather asks the right questions and provides insights from his investing experience that help us think through the challenges and decisions we face. However, when asked, Ashu has been very helpful in constructing strategy and giving specific opinions. He's also been a strong partner with introductions and funding strategy. We wouldn't have the opportunity we have without his support and I couldn't give Ashu a higher recommendation.”
