Girish Mathrubootham — Co-Founder
I’ve spent the last 15+ years building Freshworks from a small office in Chennai to a global SaaS company listed on Nasdaq. That journey taught me that India is not longer an IT Services player alone — it is a Product Nation, capable of creating companies that serve the world. Now, as a General Partner at Together Fund, I’ve transitioning from founder to full-time investor. Our mission is clear: to back ambitious Saas and AI founders and help them scale from idea to global impact. At Together Fund, we bring more than capital — we bring operator experience, deep understanding of enterprise workflows, and the playbooks of building and scaling globally competitive SaaS businesses. We believe in founder-partner chemistry — a relationship built on trust, shared ambition, and the ability to navigate the toughest challenges Together. What excites me most is this new wave of AI-native startups that are scaling faster than ever before. Through initiatives like SwarmSpace and our global community, we’re building a playground where AI pioneers can experiment, learn, and scale with confidence. My journey continues, but the mission remains the same: to help put India on the global map as a Product Nation, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the next generation of founders.
