333. The $450M AUM Founding Partner Backing Early-Stage Startups w/ Krishna Visvanathan | Crane Ventures

My name is Krishna, co-founded Crane.

As you can see, branded here, Crane's a venture firm based in London.

We founded the firm now 11 years ago, actually.

And our investment focus, if you like, is early stage, inception, seed, pre-seed, technical founders, building foundational technology businesses, initially on a pan-European basis, now very much on a global basis.

you know, focused also with a separate fund focused on Asia, soon

with a team heading out to the US.

So that's the kind of high level.

Happy to delve deeper, but that's who I am today.

Born and brought up in Malaysia to South Indian parents, or grandparents, I should say, who emigrated to Malaysia in the 20s and 1930s.

I moved to England in 1990.

I came here to university and I've lived here ever since.

London's been my home since 1999.
