Genuinely interested in getting to know you before diving into an idea. Wants to talk about what you were involved with at school, nostalgic about his old days. Highly indexes on the team.

Astasia didn't seem super interested in our first call. She ended the meeting early with "I think I have everything I need" which felt weird. She then followed up a month later saying she really enjoyed the conversation and asked for a followup meeting. So far it has been sort of a weird experience.

Pretty unusual experience when we were raising our seed round - dragged out the process and even asked us to give a presentation to one of her LPs (??) before passing. Would not recommend.

He has a great reputation, and we were excited to pitch him. He spent most of the meeting talking about his other investments. He followed up by passing us off to a junior person at the firm. It was a buzz kill. hopefully others had a better experience

Marketplace marketplace marketplace — he's the guy to go to. Super kind, and very founder friendly — as in founders are literally LPs of his fund. Down to hang, down to riff. The whole 9. Great and straight forward and supportive.

Smart guy but incredibly rude. Cut me off 10 minutes into my pitch and told me all the reasons we were going to fail, did the same to other founders.

What you see is what you get. "Frequently wrong but never in doubt" is one of his sayings. If, and that is a big if, he is on your side, then you are in a good position.

I've worked with Aditya on several deals; he started off by backing one of my losers (I was the founder) and despite losing money he doubled down on my next company (where I was part of the founding team) and that was a good outcome for him. He is a very low-ego guy, and will support you even if he doesn't invest. He looks to build long-term relationships. Probably the best VC partner I know in Southeast Asia.
