About Ullas Naik

I am a seasoned early stage investor, venture capitalist and entrepreneur with investment experience in over 500 companies. I founded seed stage venture capital firm Streamlined, where since the firm's inception 14 years back, I have led our investments in the seed rounds of companies totaling >$200Bn of value. Streamlined is focused on leading seed rounds in applied AI and applied data science companies across business and consumer applications.At Streamlined, I have led seed investments in almost 20 companies valued at over $1Bn including iconic companies such as Applovin (IPO), Doordash (IPO), Rappi, Forge (IPO), Rigetti (IPO), OpenGov (acquisition), EasyPost, Speechify, Flip, FLYR Labs, Rescale, Medable, Bolt, TubiTV (acquisition), etc. In addition, over the last 25 years, I have seed/angel invested in nearly 150 companies. I am also an investor in numerous venture capital funds. In addition, I helped co-found the full lifecycle investment firm, Cota Capital.Prior to that, I was a senior member of the investment team and helped build venture capital firm Globespan Capital Partners. We had invested in early stage rounds of numerous high profile companies including Palo Alto Networks (IPO), Roku (IPO), Redfin (IPO), UpWork (IPO), BladeLogic (IPO), Virident (acquisition), Q1 Labs (acquisition), Virtusa (IPO), etc.Prior to Globespan I was a top ranked Wall Street analyst at First Albany and was recognized by the Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine as a Wall Street All Star.I am a strong believer in the power of human ingenuity, especially when it is allowed to thrive in the context of an open, liberal democratic and capitalist society. I thoroughly enjoy participating in all aspects of entrepreneurial value creation and the risk capital that is necessary to cultivate it. I fully expect to work within the broad realm of entrepreneurial value creation for the rest of my life.
