About

I focus on deeptech investments at Capital2B, bringing an operator’s lens to early-stage decision-making. I’ve spent nearly 12 yrs building technology-led products—thinking not just about how to develop them, but how to protect IP, deploy capital thoughtfully, and build the capabilities required to scale and go to market.Whether you’re exploring ideas, building quietly, sharing your journey, or want to exchange views on deeptech sectors, I’d love to connect — akriti.gupta@capital2b.com.
