Shit VC list India (avoid at any cost)
I think OP got some fire for this post. Hence reposting a copy here from archive so that we keep ourselves informed
Whats your credibility, who are you to judge these VCs you might ask?
About us - we’ve interacted with almost every big Tier 1,2,3 VC in India, received multiple term sheets, and are friends with some Unicorn and some series A/B level founders + some small funds. Been in the space for 5 years.
Lightspeed VC
Gathered all info about us
Said they’ll move things quickly
Then ghosted
— have filed fake financial fraud cases againsts founders, and worst of all fake sexual assault cases too, to get them to do what they wanted
Sequoia India (PeakXV)
Been on multiple calls with an Analyst + VP
All intel gathering calls
No partner calls whatsoever
Waste of time
-- Like another founder once said, they've down some downright evil and inhumane shit to their portco founders, very sociopathic, blackmail etc.
Inflection Point
Lala VC
9Unicorns/VCats
Went through the IC
Founder is a jackass, most their portcos are money laundering for them
Kushal Bhagia
Makes FOMO based decisions
No originality in thinking whatsoever
Herd mentality based decisions
Doesn’t lead rounds (maybe only pre-seed)
Matrix
— took all our data, even signed up on our platform and even paid for our subscription
— funded our biggest competitor next week (along w/ elevation)
— we’re crushing this competitor 2 years later (story for another time)
Antler India
— Rajiv is good, rest of the team - Nandini, Rahul etc. suck ass
— Very toxic, few of their other team members quit becuase of this, Highschool mentality
Elevation
— 0 Original thinking, another dumbass VC pretending to be a smart ass
— Very sheep like, and very pedigree motivated, we’ve crushed some of their portcos too
Kalaari
— By far, one of the worst VCs in India
— Blackmail, emotional, mental torture, they will go to any extent to get what they want, pure evil
— VK is Lori Bream (will eventually end up in jail, iykyk)
