Preetish Nijhawan co-founded Akamai Technologies alongside MIT professor Tom Leighton, where he pushed his classmate Danny Lewin to turn his thesis into a business plan that became the foundational Internet infrastructure company. He brings a distinctive combination of deep technical operating experience across multiple companies and early formation-stage investing focus, where he works closely with founders on product and go-to-market strategy rather than just providing capital.
