This bi-weekly talk brings funds, investors, lenders, and other capital providers to talk about what's top of mind for every Founder: fundraising!
Sunil is a Chicago based angel investor and startup advisor who is constantly experimenting and exploring how he can best make an impact in his community.
His career arc has roughly gone as follows:
- 2011 - 2015: Design Engineer at GE Appliances
- 2015 - 2020: Management Consultant at The Keystone Group
- 2020 - 2022: Operations Manager at Uber
- 2022 - 2023: Operations Manager at Angi
A few years back, he also began angel investing, largely inspired by his father (serial entrepreneur and investor), the proliferation of investing platforms such as Angel List, and the explosion of no-code and AI tools that allowed for companies to be built for lower costs than ever.
At the same time, through his own personal network and community, he was inspired by (and somewhat jealous of) the number of entrepreneurs who took it upon themselves to start a business or nonprofit in 2020 - 2022, despite the many challenges.
Therefore, in mid 2023, he decided to go out on his own, combining his experience in engineering, consulting, and tech operations with his enthusiasm and passion for startup investing. He is excited to support entrepreneurs and small business owners with strategy and operations expertise, direct funding, or some combination thereof.
