If it is a growth or late-stage investment, the involvement would be far less as the company would already be scaling up. But, if it is an early stage company, the challenges are different. You would have to spend a lot of time to expand the bandwidth. Also, if it is a transformational one, you would take a lot of time to develop the capabilities and educate someone to move to a new service, and execute the plans properly,” says Ankur Maheshwari, Investment Manager, Walden International.

Founded in 1987, Walden International is a VC firm with over $1.6 billion in investments. It invests across clean technology, internet and digital media, semiconductors, software & IT services, and emerging technologies. It focuses on early-stage (seed or startup) and expansion stage (growth) companies.
