Partner at Katha VC | I Help Founders Make One Hard Decision in 10 Days
I specialize in
“VC Partner who helps founders make one big strategic or capital decision...fast”
Background & Highlights
You're a founder with one big decision hanging over you. Raise now or later. Take this term sheet or walk away. Go after enterprises or SMEs. Kill a product or keep funding it. If you keep debating it, you'll burn 3–6 more months of runway. I'm General Partner at Katha VC. I have decades in financial services from venture to startups I built to JPMorgan and to major hedge funds. I've backed pre-seed to Series A companies globally and invested alongside the best in the world. I've watched founders win and lose on exactly these decisions in some of the hardest markets in the world. On Hubble, I help fintech and B2B SaaS founders do one thing: Make one high‑stakes strategic or capital decision fast, and in a way they can defend to their board and investors. Typical questions I work on: “Should we raise now or wait 6–12 months.” “Which customer segment or market should we focus on in the next 12–18 months.” “Should we keep funding this product line or shut it down.” “Why is our fundraise stalling and what exactly needs to change.” In a session, we will: Define the exact decision and your real constraints (cash, time, people, market). Map the few facts that actually matter to that decision. Stress‑test your assumptions using what I have seen across my own investments. Leave you with a clear recommendation and immediate next steps. If you want frameworks and generic theory, I am not the right person. If you want a direct, investor‑grade view on one hard decision, book a session and let's get to work!
