Testimonials
Anirudh A. Damani, Managing Partner, Artha Venture Fund
"I don't blurb books. I back evidence. Sharan referred Cheerio AI to me, put his own money in twice, and stood behind the founders before the product made sense to anyone. Then our fund led the next round. That is this book. Not theory about angel investing. Evidence. Founders should read it before they take their first cheque. Angels should read it before they write one."
Arjun Vaidya, Co-founder, V3 Ventures
“Most books on angel investing teach you the vocabulary. Sharan's teaches you what's actually happening in the room. His central point — that trust and purpose are built long before the pitch — is one I've seen prove out firsthand in founders we've both backed. Read this before you raise a single rupee.”

“A must-read for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Sharan’s entrepreneurial mindset is second to none. With 10 years of experience as a VC investor, he seamlessly combines deep technical knowledge with hard-won insights to inspire and equip aspiring founders.”
Dhruv Nath, Director, Lead Invest
“Aggarwal takes the road less travelled — literally. By walking founders through real deals, city by city, he has produced that rare thing: an investing book written for the founder, not the financier. Founders will devour it; investors will wish they had written it.”
