Watch our exclusive interview with Jahanvi Sardana, Partner at Index Ventures.
We started by exploring what led Jahanvi to invest in Thatch, a company revolutionizing #healthcare with a personalized patient experience. We discussed how this sector may now be entering a new #phase —much like the transformation Fintech underwent after the 2008 financial crisis.
From there, we turned to #cybersecurity, where we discussed her investment in Sublime Security System. Despite being a cyber company, they’ve managed to scale entirely through #inbound leads and a #PLG model—something rarely seen in the space.
We then touched on the #AI arms race and how a leading #VC like Index Ventures is adapting to this new era, along with the key signals Jahanvi looks for when meeting founders.
And Jhanavi #hobbies outside of investing in cutting edge companies? ♟️👑🏸
