During week 5 of the @residencyBLR venture‑founder residency, I met with Darshit Vora, General Partner at Sparrow Capital VC, who dedicated one‑on‑one time with each founder to review decks, answer questions, and brainstorm next steps.
- Darshit Vora has been active in venture capital since 2014.
Darshit Vora, GP at @sparrowcapvc, has been in VC since 2014.
- He grew Sparrow Capital from an initial ₹4 crore fund to a ₹475 crore fund.
- Under his tenure Sparrow Capital has backed 40+ startups, including @superhealth_ind, @gokwik, and Apnamart.
- Decision: Allocate dedicated partner time to each founder rather than group sessions.
- Reason: Personalized feedback was identified as a recurring founder need that can directly influence startup progress.
