Pankaj Jain

I'm Pankaj, Managing Partner at Saka Ventures and an early-stage VC focused on SaaS, AI, and FinTech. I have worked across hedge funds, startups, and venture capital, and I have led investments in more than 70 startups including Shiprocket, Innovaccer, Atlan, Posha and Headout. I have also worked with organizations like Long-Term Capital Management, 500 Startups, AngelList India, and served on boards and investment committees while founding communities like Headstart Network Foundation, Startup Weekend India and Indian Startup Club.

And my hot take is startups pitch traction over hype; metrics beat buzz every time.
