Engineering Capital

Ashmeet is my “co-founding” investor He was the first investor in Yotascale and has been an amazing source of practical wisdom that can sometimes seem contrary to "convention" Ashmeet's prior experience as a founder & CEO makes him an invaluable asset to a startup founder & CEO compared to investors who lack that experience

Asim Razzaq, Founder & CEO, YotaScale Ashmeet helped us start Baffle in a way no investor can He introduced the idea as a challenge to me, introduced me to my co-founder, helped vet the idea, co-authored our initial patent, and then wrote the first check! He is unique amongst the many VCs in Silicon Valley with his intellectual curiosity that highlights massive opportunities, the access his powerful network creates for his portfolio, and his focus on a relentless pursuit of product-market fit

Ameesh Divatia, Founder & CEO, Baffle Ashmeet was my first Investor in Asimily He has provided constant support, encouragement, advice, and fresh perspectives through all our ups and downs and continues to stay engaged He is always there when you need him but at the same time, gives you the space you need to execute We are lucky to have Ashmeet! Shankar Somasundaram, Founder & CEO, Asimily Ashmeet was the first investor to commit to invest in Robust Intelligence We had lots of interest, and his creative, out of the box approach created a foundation for our cap table which paid off handsomely in later rounds He has a deep understanding of all aspects of venture, and plays win-win which makes him a great partner

Yaron Singer, Founder & CEO, Robust Intelligence

We understand technology deeply.

“Venture capital for engineers” is not just a tagline We get technology in a way few VCs do

Ashmeet thinks fast and moves fast, and he actually understands the tech he invests in His product experience gives him a real edge in his ability to support and advise founders, which have resulted in an active community of builders forming around Engineering Capital Ashmeet was the third investor in my company, but he's my first call when I'll raise money for the next one

Avner Braverman, Founder & CEO, Reshuffle Since TCP/IP was adopted as the standard for enterprise networking in the 1980s, the principles behind its design have been taken for granted Airgap has key insights that aim to disrupt this status-quo When we approached Ashmeet for our seed round of funding, we not only found a great investor, but a partner who understood the fundamental technical gaps, aligned with us on the breakthrough technology led innovation and, most importantly, was equally eager to disrupt the market If you are looking for a seasoned investor with deep business skills, an engineer with deep technical background, and a partner you can trust, you must connect with Ashmeet

Ritesh Agrawal, Founder & CEO, AirGap Networks

We build long-term working relationships.

We work hard for our companies Multiple, successful CEOs have chosen to work with us again and again

Ashmeet was the first investor and board member in my first startup, Altor Networks, and is also the first investor I chose for Menlo Security He has been an advisor, a friend, a trusted confidant Few investors have seen startups from truly a clean sheet of paper like Ashmeet has—and it shows! Amir Ben-Efraim, Founder & CEO, Menlo Security I met Ashmeet when I was running my first startup, HTBase We didn’t work together then, but I still reached out when I started Shipa I am so glad I did! Ashmeet led the pre-seed at Shipa, and has been an incredible help ever since He knows how to add tremendous value, but with a feather-light touch Never a burden, and yet always available to help The Shipa journey is still being written so we don’t know what lies ahead But regardless of what the future brings, I know I want Ashmeet as my partner

Bruno Andrade, Founder & CEO, Shipa Ashmeet was a natural choice to be my first investor at Auditoria He was also a seed investor in Palerra, my previous startup, which was bought by Oracle; and given the winding, complicated road that startups go through, I knew there was no one better to start this journey with, as well as support us through our growth and evolution

Rohit Gupta, Founder & CEO, Auditoria Ashmeet was a small investor in StackStorm, but added value disproportionate to size He is gifted in efficiently getting to the crux of any matter with speed and empathy In addition to ongoing advice, he rolled up his sleeves and helped create our exit I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would do it again, in a heartbeat! Evan Powell, Founder & CEO, StackStorm I had multiple choices and chose Ashmeet to the first investor in FluxNinja after working with him as the first investor in my previous company, Netsil Ashmeet is the best investor to start your company with He started and built a company himself and knows what it actually takes to build a startup from scratch He understands technology, moves quickly, and knows how to help founders in just the way they need Harjot Gill, Founder and CEO, FluxNinja (and formerly Founder and CEO, Netsil) My perspective on VCs changed a lot after working with you The deal would not have been possible without your guidance and support Sanjay Kalra, Founder & CEO ShiftRight, Founder & CPO Lacework Ashmeet thinks long term He led the seed and served on the Board of my first startup, Azure Power After the very first board meeting his feedback was “you are running a marathon, not a sprint” Combining that with practical advice from the amazing diversity of his real-world experiences set us on a path to our eventual IPO on the NYSE (AZRE)
