Partner, Greenoaks
Neil Mehta built his investing approach through hands-on global deal-making across Asia and the Middle East early in his career, developing an operator's perspective on complex situations rather than typical Silicon Valley pattern-matching, and he frames his investment philosophy around "craftsmanship in business" inspired by his grandfather's gun shop in India, treating founders as artists and evaluating companies for their aesthetic "beauty" alongside financial metrics. He runs Greenoaks with extreme concentration—putting 40% of his first fund into Coupang alone and managing nearly $15B across only ~55 companies with nine investment professionals—while serving as founders' "panic button" during crises, personally doing intensive fieldwork to reach conviction, and aiming to find the rare founders who could build companies that become meaningful weights in the S&P 500.
