Immad Akhund

Investor, Immad Akhund Fund

Immad Akhund is a serial founder-operator who became a fund manager only after multiple startup cycles, including founding and exiting Heyzap before building Mercury into a unicorn, bringing an investing lens anchored in having personally gone from first-time founder to CEO of a scaled fintech rather than coming from a traditional finance or VC background. He has a distinctive niche interest and experience in space-related investing, having done extensive space investing around 2018–2022 and publicly outlining what he looks for in a space pitch, giving him a more specialized perspective in an otherwise relatively small and technical category for early-stage investors.
