Amit Aggarwal — Co-Founder
I’ve spent the last 15+ years looking at the startup ecosystem from every seat at the table - as an Investor, a Founder, and a scaled-up Operator. Today, I’m at Verlinvest, building our new Early Growth practice. I love the messiness of building and the clarity of scaling. If you are a founder looking for a partner for your next growth leap, let’s talk. My focus is on that critical "breakout" phase - Series A and B ($5M-$20M checks), where companies need to evolve from a great product into a dominant business. I joined Verlinvest because few firms understand the consumer pulse better. We are the partners behind household names like Epigamia, Veeba, Purplle, Wakefit, and Lahori. With over €2B in assets and a plan to back 10–15 breakouts a year, we are doubling down on India. Previously: Investor @ Elevation Capital: I partnered with founders at the early stage across Social, Commerce, and Edtech. Proud to have backed rapidly scaling companies like AppsForBharat, Wishlink, Atlys, Seekho, SolarSquare, and Snabbit. Operator, Founder @ Meta & Hero Electronix: I led Strategy & Ops for Meta India (launching Reels, Video products & WhatsApp Pay). At Hero, I helped setup the family’s tech investing arm (Hero Electronix) and then went on to build Qubo from scratch as an EIR. Advisor @ Bain: Spent 7 years advising PE/VCs in India and the US on both new deals and portfolio ops/ strategy. Built out Bain’s global VC practice by anchoring early multi-year client engagements
