About Gaurav Jain
Gaurav Jain grew up in India thinking venture capital was weird before becoming a believer in its role as an engine for growth, which keeps him grounded about deploying other people's money into uncertain ideas. He built his reputation by sourcing breakout seed investments like Cruise, Firebase, and Airtable at Founder Collective, then moved to specialize even earlier at pre-seed where he focuses on founder authenticity and learning velocity over traditional market size analysis.
