Starting a venture fund

I recently raised $5 million for a venture fund. I want to back people who come from a background like mine.

I was underprivileged in a lot of ways. I remember getting my first laptop in 9th grade, I used it until I reached 11th grade.

That laptop changed my life. I spent days and nights on it, grinding through maths, learning CS. A lot of why I am here today goes back to that old laptop and an internet connection.

The internet changed my life, and it can change yours too. But not everyone has the privilege of getting that first laptop, or the support to see where it might take them.

I want capital to reach people who are underprivileged. I want to help make sure the struggles I faced do not have to be faced by everyone coming after me.

If you are building something cool, please hit me up at shubh@shubhxho.com. I write small checks and try to help as much as I can, including through microgrants.

P.S. I received an Emergent Ventures grant, and it changed my life. It led to my first exit.
