Athurv — Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Athurv, the person behind Monsoon Capital
Athurv built Monsoon Capital to back founders rebuilding the industries everything else runs on — energy grids, space logistics, financial infrastructure and the compute layer for AI.
He leads the fund's thesis and sits on the investment committee, working directly with founders from first meeting through to scale.
Under his leadership, Monsoon Capital pairs concentrated capital with hands-on operating support, and gives away all ad money from our Pitch Us page to randomly selected founder applications every quarter.
“Capital isn't scarce — conviction is. A founder in a rented room with a breakthrough deserves someone who believes in them before the rest of the world does. That's why Monsoon Capital exists.”

Physics-first underwriting
We back what is fundamentally possible, not what is fashionable this quarter.
