Aditya Vuchi’s Post

I met Aditya Vuchi almost 9-10 years ago in CIE, IIITH. He pitched about Zippr just before Jury's lunch time (totally forgot which event though) I went in and all they Jury members were going Gaga about Zippr I have never seen anyone praising any product like that, let alone the whole group talking about it with awe. If you would have met him back then, Your first impression would be that he runs a small company with small team, But they had 400 people working in Media Mint. If you meet him now, Your first impression would be that he runs a small company with small team, But Media Mint has over 2000 people working now. Haven’t seen him showing off anytime. I was building a startup back then and buzzed him multiple times for advice, and Aditya always had time. I used to think I have to work with him sometime. The thing is, Many founders speak nicely outside, but at work, they will be too bossy, I keep hearing this often. I have been working with Aditya for last 2 years at Alohaa But with Aditya, it's what you see is what he is, One of the best person to work with. Total autonomy and freedom to experiment, work , grow. If you see him in a startup event, go and say hi, you will learn few things for sure. PS: Seeing Aditya moving Media Mint, brought in a lot of Nostalgia, so this post.

Community if there were EVER a time when I needed your help, it would be TODAY 🙏🏾 One year ago I made a bold decision to make a career pivot from the bedside to VC. Although I have initially leaned heavily on my healthcare experience to impact digital health and MedTech companies, I have also been intentional about not only being the change but also being a champion for blsck representation and finding ways to help other Black individuals (whether active investors or emerging) mobilize capital and make venture capital more inclusive. The role you see below is my DREAM ROLE! If you have ever 1) engaged with me, 2) been driven to sign up to receive my content 3)been inspired by my engagement (whether in person or online), or 3) simply know me and have seen my journey in the last year Please write one (1) sentence as to why I would be a great fit and tag Robert Gordon IV with BLCK VC I have never done things outside the box until I started this journey and now that's how I am about doing things. I was inspired by Jeanine Suah to put myself out there and ask for help to get what I want in life! Thank you in advance to anyone who helps. I will not forget it. #venturecapital #blackinvestors #blckvc

Still excited about having Diana A. Kozak on Team Ditto. Here’s what you get when you come work for me: 1. Attention - I believe in giving as many people as possible 1:1 attention whenever possible. That means listening to how they are doing, giving advice on work issues and understanding where I and the company can be improving. 2. Adaptive Intelligence - I listen to what people tell me and I take action. Maybe they need help w time management. Or maybe they have an issue on an account. When i hear about concerns, struggles and needs, I listen and problem solve. 3. Motivation - That doesn’t always come in the form of “you need to pick it up.” I motivate people to peak performance by truly understanding where the obstacles are to achieve it. Sometimes I tell people to eat breakfast. Other times I give them a book to read. End of the day, you come to work at Ditto and you get a boss that genuinely cares about your well-being and your professional development. I’m not perfect though and always working on being the best boss. Sometimes people forget that while I’m the boss, I still make mistakes. But it’s better to have a boss that’s not perfect and always striving to improve than a boss who doesn’t care.

Deal Closed... But the work doesn’t stop here! 🎉 As we celebrate, we're already thinking about how to leverage this win and create a chain reaction of new opportunities. Let’s keep the momentum rolling! #DealClosed #CelebrateSuccess #MomentumMatters #NextBigWin #OpportunityKnocks #WinningStreak #BusinessGrowth #StrategicThinking #KeepPushingForward #ChainReaction #SuccessMindset #LeverageTheWin #AlwaysBeClosing

What if we celebrated exits that deliver for audiences rather than distribute to shareholders? Several times a month, I see 🎉 for another small publication or newsletter, making a lucrative exit. Then, every week for the rest of the month, I see the pain that comes from losing a publication like Pitchfork. In 2015, the Pitchfork owners got their exit. And now it’s gone, bringing more layoffs in the industry. Many exits lead to future pain for the people doing the hard work. There are a lot easier ways to make money than the media business in 2024. There’s no shame in leaving some money on the table and selling to someone emotionally invested in building the business *while* serving their communities. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the people in the people building helpful / interesting / cool new products and sticking with them for the long haul. Who else is betting on the builders? Share some of your favorites so we can boost them up and learn from them.
