Divya Raghavan
Principal
As the daughter of an entrepreneur, I grew up witnessing firsthand how building a company shapes not just businesses, but families—an experience that fundamentally defined my own relationship with work and drives my commitment to supporting founders.
Divya brings a combination that resonates with today’s technical founders: hands-on engineering experience paired with venture investing. Her journey started in the trenches – leading software engineering at Citrix and product management teams at SugarCRM. Most recently Divya was lead software infrastruture investments at NGP Capital. She’s been on both sides of the table, and that perspective is invaluable. With an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management and a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Florida, she bridges technical depth with investment strategy.
