About

Hi, I’m Vinay.

I grew up outside of Portland, Oregon and remain a lifelong Trail Blazers basketball fan. I studied computer science and economics at Harvard. I’ve spent my adult life living between San Francisco and New York City.

These days, I’m building Anansi Capital, a new investment firm focused on transforming backbone industries with AI. Before that, I was a venture capital investor and was lucky to work with some amazing founders and businesses.

I write about the intersection of technology, investing, and policy — this blog is where I work out ideas that excite me, in the hope that some of them land for you too. Reach out anytime with questions or thoughts. I love connecting with new people.
