About Samir Sood

Samir Sood is the founder of Venture Highway, an early-stage venture capital firm based in New Delhi, where he previously served as a partner before stepping down to take on the role of “All Things Business & Chief Believer”. His investment thesis focuses almost exclusively on seed-stage technology startups in India, targeting category-creating companies in sectors such as fintech, logistics, SaaS, cybersecurity, Web3, and B2B commerce. The firm typically leads investments with an average check size of around $1 million, acting as the first institutional partner for these startups. Notable portfolio companies include Meesho, CRED, Moglix, and ShareChat, which Venture Highway backed in their early stages. Sood brings deep operational experience from prior strategic roles at Google, Cisco, and Microsoft, including leading South Asia M&A and overseeing key acquisitions like AdMob. While he is also an active angel investor with personal investments in companies like Tractor Factory and Zapr, his public writing and distinctive point of view center on being a “founder-first” investor who leverages a broad network of industry experts and potential hires
