In early May 2026 I organized the “Mini Colosseum” hackathon with SuperteamMY × Arc × Curious Ventures. Teams pitched and sold their ideas in a single day, and the community‑driven judging awarded $1,000 USDG plus a year‑long Claude subscription to the winners. The event reinforced my belief that distribution, not just building, is the only moat.

- Hackathon winners: Paypay (🥇), 21Reboot (🥈), Statem Finance (🥉).

The “Roast My Pitch” session saw 15+ startups receive direct feedback.

Claude Code role is live (✅).

In May 2026 I used X (@ns, @Curiousdotxyz) to promote Fund I, share the “distribution is the only moat” thesis, highlight human‑time monetisation, and map founder nodes across India, Dubai and SEA.

Fund I • $10 M Pre‑Seed Hybrid launched on 18 May 2026.

My investment thesis: “Distribution is the only moat.”

Human‑time monetisation is a core thesis for Curious Ventures.

We heard 35+ founder pitches in under 90 seconds each on 23 May 2026.

We spent 20 minutes with each founder after the rapid pitch.

We mapped 50+ founder nodes across India, Dubai, SEA and on‑chain.

A Bengaluru street‑vendor earns ~₹1 Lakh/month via AI data collection.

I use “Selective Doomscrolling” – limiting scrolling to one channel to turn doomscrolling into productive consumption.
