Mohit Sadaani — Co-Founder
As MD - DeVC, my mission is to redefine what it means to be a truly "founder-first investor" as someone who’s lived the journey himself. But let’s rewind to where this journey began. ⏪ When I exited The Moms Co. to Good Glamm Group in 2022, I found myself at a crossroads. I had a successful exit & the time to explore different paths, but I wasn’t sure what came next. In the next two years following, I explored different paths—retirement 🏖️, angel investing 💸, content creation 🎥, and even coding as a second-time founder 💻. But every time, the moments that excited me most were those spent helping founders through their toughest challenges: - Through my 30 angel investments, I loved being the person founders came to for discussions on funding strategy, brand plans, and even tough personal topics like the guilt they felt being away from family. - Through my content, I found a way to share learnings and insights, hoping founders wouldn’t make the same mistakes I did. - Through my travels, I kept spotting new ideas and thinking about the perfect founder for each one back home in India. 🚀 The more I explored, the sharper my vision for the future became. In this next chapter, "I want to help Founders succeed". Enter DeVC, 2023. After doing 10 angel deals with the team, I knew this was where this purpose could truly come alive. DeVC stands for "Distributed VC"; it’s a fund that lives by the mantra: ‘For Founders, By Founders.’ 💡 We offer hands-on support from those who’ve lived the ups and downs of the founder journey. 🔹 The Team: Between Aakash, Divyanshi, Rahul and I, we've launched companies, faced failure, scaled against the odds, and exited on both good and bad terms. When we say we understand the founder journey, it’s because we’ve lived it. 🔹 The Collective: We co-invest with our community of India’s top angels and experienced operators. They know what it takes to build a company. Spend time with people like Revant, Ramakant, Harshil, Aakrit, Miten, Utsav, or any of the 40 core Collective members, and you’ll walk away with insights, clarity, and actionable next steps for your business. 🔹 The Dugouts: We’re building support networks, events, how-to and strategy videos, playbooks—everything founders need, when they need it. With 100+ deals done and the DeVC Collective unlocking new opportunities, our mission is simple: Build what we wish we had when we were founders.
