This blog is an attempt to bring the Indian venture community closer together. All its constituents, right from the entrepreneurs themselves, venture capital firms, angel funds, lawyers, recruiters, investment bankers, incubation cells — the list goes on.
As an entrepeneur, then as an angel investor and private equity professional, I have felt that despite close alignment of our end goals, there exist vast gaps in our understanding of each other. Gaps which are often responsible for inefficiencies in the system. For example, the entrepreneurs’ collective understanding of what the “hot areas” are might be very different from the investors’ view — venturewoods is a platform to discuss, and not necessarily agree on, those views. This site is an attempt to prevent all of us from being lost in the woods.
The objective of venturewoods is to be an open community without compromising on quality. If you feel that you have thoughts that you want to share, feel free to write in and request an account. In any case, do feel free to comment.

Hi folks,
I am affiliated with a start-up firm (not made public at present) which spin-offs technology based companies (non-IT). Our company members are located in U.S. and India. Presently, we are looking to partner with individuals:
a) Having a technology based idea and the required domain knowledge , but lacking access to adequate talent pool or/and resources/ability to implement the ideas
b) Having technology based idea and resources but lacking required domain knowledge.
We prefer — business proposals(a rough draft will do) which do not require intensive financial resources and have shorter incubation period.
We dont prefer— business proposals aiming to develop some hardware based product
ex: A better design of computer mouse!!
Please get in touch with me if you have entrepreneurial bent along our lines.
