According to PrivateCircle Research, 56 out of 116 unicorns (48 per cent) had at least one woman director on their board, while just 13 (11 per cent) of them had more than one woman director at the company level. This signals the continued efforts of unicorns to bridge the gender gap in boardrooms. thehindubusinessline.com/com…

Many family offices and HNIs, often LPs in VC firms, are now engaging with investment bankers and lawyers to explore direct investments. The recent lack of strong returns from VC firms has prompted these LPs to consider direct investment opportunities.

So, @Ashneer_Grover said he has invested Rs 2.94 cr And @_privatecircle has issued an update - "Total investment value for Anupam Mittal will increase by 25 Lakhs, 10 Lakhs increased for Aman Gupta, and 25 Lakhs jump for Peyush Bansal total" nitter.gq/Ashneer_Grover/status/…
I, Ashneer Grover, invested ₹2.95 crores | 11 deals in Shark Tank Season 1. This makes me second highest deployer, only after @namitathapar who was highest both in terms of absolute and % closure. No surprises - Namita is a great pay master ! Both Namita and I are the top 2 in terms of absolute, % deals completed and % commitment invested. 2 folks @ETtech and @moneycontrolcom published 2 incorrect and invalidated stories on Shark Tank Season 1. No surprises how blatantly wrong they were - ‘press is opposite of maths’. Putting my investments by date in public - what Shark Tank should’ve done in the first place.
