VC’s are People Too!

I read Fred Wilson’s post ‘Understanding VCs’ with great interest recently. I agree that VCs are not heroes, I think they are real people. I have been lucky enough to meet & video interview many VCs & I have supported female VCs to have a higher profile. Jason Mendelsohn told me years ago that vcs are often treated like ‘the hot girl @the party’. I have been to enough conferences in the SF Bay area now to see how they get mobbed afterwards.

Sankaet Pathak, Founder & CEO Synapse completed a Master’s in electrical engineering at the University of Memphis, where he previously majored in computer engineering, physics and mathematics. A scientist at heart, much of Pathak’s academic work was focused on physics and research related to the solar corona. As a student at the University of Memphis and a recent immigrant to the USA, Sankaet Pathak needed to open a bank account. He was surprised to learn that wasn’t an easy task. Sankaet knew he had to develop a better option not only for himself but for the over 20% of adults in the USA with poor or limited credit history. Sankaet founded Synapse with an eye toward offering a viable alternative to legacy banking systems, while providing operational simplicity, efficiency & ease of integration to perform virtually any banking interaction. Sankaet is launching an AI startup soon called Foundation. Foundation is developing the future of general purpose robotics with the goal to address the labor shortage. Foundation’s mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.
