Vibhore Sharma

deep tech investor and builder

I've been a salesperson, a journalist, a systems architect, a software developer, a CTO and an entrepreneur-in-residence. None of it was planned. Each role just happened to teach me something the next one turned out to need.

I like hard problems, and I tend to follow my curiosity further than is sensible. My best work has always come out of rooms where people don't all think the same way.

These days I run a deep tech fund. I back founders who start with the science, the ones building companies that could change how the world runs, and spend the rest of my time helping startups and larger organisations think through design, product and technology.

Do fewer things, and do them well.
Say no to almost everything else.
Share the work; ideas improve in the open.

Backing the science, before it looks like a company.

a small portfolio, placed early and held with patience

Early, hands-on bets, backing the frontier before the round exists.

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up whenever you felt like it. J.D. Salinger · The Catcher in the Rye
