Hear from our founders
Who were not bribed or coerced in anyway to say these nice things
“Anand has been our biggest advocate starting from day one.
He has helped us think through tough product decisions, activated his network for us,
and been all-around an incredible mentor and investor—Anand has been vital in our
journey starting Formfunction!”

Katherine Liu
CEO, FORMFUNCTION
“Anand’s one of the most helpful investors we’ve gotten to work
with, and is always there with the most thoughtful & sage advice when needed.”

Matt Alston
CEO, BONFIRE
“Most investors will just go quiet after their investments
unless we reach out. For Anand, it is the other way around, he will seek out
to help Mercurial actively, whether it is a good intro and a good
interesting find in the crypto space. A+ :)”
