Looking forward to the annual meet of D2C Insider Super Angels. This year’s invite arrived as a thoughtfully curated box of products from portfolio brands. A small gesture on the surface, but it reflects how deeply the fund believes in its founders. And, this mindset is what sets them apart. The relationship goes way beyond the term sheet and there’s genuine intent to support, collaborate, and build something meaningful together. In fact, over half of my own angel investments in the last two years have been with D2C Insider. Every meet-up brings incredible energy, and I’m grateful to be a part of this community, supporting founders through their zero-to-one journey. Excited to catch-up with everyone. See you there, Abhishek, Chhavi, Hrithik and the entire team.
