Founder and CEO

Varun Datta

Mr Varun Datta is the Founder and CEO of TruthVentures, a highly regarded investor and venture capitalist.

"I thoroughly enjoy partnering with founders at an early stage when there is nothing more than an idea and a belief in their vision. I work with people who are looking for a partner and not just capital, a good working partner is irreplaceable whereas for funds there are many alternatives. I identify my partner's self-belief and confidence and the story they want to tell via their product or solution. For me, the founder is the main factor between building a good company and building an iconic company. Everything flows from there - raising capital, building a team, to even getting early customers. I look for highly passionate and purposeful founders as it's their passion that is contagious. As per Varun the best part of being in the venture capital domain is that every day one gets to meet and work with passionate souls and learn something new. I love working with founders that are looking for a partner, not just capital. Capital is a commodity."
