Rahul Mathur Email & Phone Number

As a former founder, I’ve been on the same journey as you :) Our investors were fantastic, I aspire to be like them: honest, helpful & decisive. I invest in companies in FinTech, BFSI, SaaS & IP-led frontier sectors.Looking forward to hearing from you - feel free to DM me on superdm.com/rahul for anything fundraising or company building related. I clear my inbox & notifications once per week.Prior to joining DeVC, I had founded Verak Insurance (a YC W21 company) which was acquired by InsuranceDekho in April 2023. We had raised ~$1.85M from Lightspeed India Partners & Sequoia Capital India.At InsuranceDekho, I was part of the team which started distribution of small business insurance ($ multi-million revenue line) and I kick-started our integrations with ONDC to offer embedded insurance options (1st to market).On nights & weekends, I had become an active investor with a portfolio of ~20 startups (Pre-Seed to Series B) built over 3 years. I thoroughly enjoyed investing & when I got the opportunity to move from an individual to institutional investor, I took the plunge.(*) My individual private investments (in order of investment date) include: 1.
