In 2020, I sat on my butt, did local hikes, saw my daughter turn 1, & had a very productive year
We had 2 exits, invested in 8 new deals (led 6 of them) & 14 follow-on rounds (participated in 8)
Launched a parallel fund to work with amazing angels
Here are the details:
Array had 2 exits @PassageAI and @wootric where we returned hard $$ to our LPs in a pandemic year.
We have returned 20% of our 1st fund already within 4 years!
As a fund manager it’s awesome to see your strategy working!

Last week I reflected on my career. I’m thankful for so many people and opportunities I have received. I didn’t have a traditional path into venture. People often ask me how one gets into venture capital.
I’m sharing a long and detailed thread on how I became a VC from nothing
I immigrated from a very large city Mumbai to a small town in upstate NY, Poughkeepsie. I didn’t know anyone there (just some extended family). I needed money to go to college. Advice I got was to get skills that would make me employable so I taught myself to type & code.
