Please email me directly: adit at cotacapital.com My focus is on solving 50 primal, first-order problems by 2045. My goal is to help exceptional founders realize their highest ambitions. I work alongside entrepreneurs as their non-judgmental business partner, drawing upon my operating experience at 3 startups (Growth Networks, Enphase Energy and Bitsplay Systems) and shared tribal knowledge about building enterprise and deep tech companies. I find myself captivated with a founder's values and the reasons that inspired them to strike out on their own. I believe that rage against the status quo and conviction to serve customer needs is what shapes the company's DNA and sets its ultimate trajectory. I am also drawn to understanding why products win, and why business models built on transparency and responsiveness ultimately prevail.
Cota Capital is a technology investment firm that partners with exceptional teams to build and grow timeless companies.
