BACKGROUND
Harish Uthayakumar and Samesh Lakhotia studied engineering at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Goa).
While Harish co-founded Stealth Startup and BlueLearn, Samesh worked at Microsoft and Footium. He then started his startup called 42 Labs.
As for Vinit Sarode, he studied engineering at the Padre Conceicao College of Engineering, Verna (PCCE). He then started a career in design engineering and was the founding designer for BlueLearn as well.
Entrepreneurs Harish, Samesh, and Vinit have teamed up to launch MyInvestorList.com.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In a LinkedIn post, Harish Uthayakumar explained that as a startup founder, he would keep receiving a lot of messages and emails from people who were looking to raise money to build on their startup idea. Some just wanted feedback.
He also noticed that there are a lot of angel investors who are willing to invest money in quality startups but do not receive an adequate “deal flow.”
To solve this gap from both ends, Harish Uthayakumar, Vinit Sarode, and Samesh Lakhotia built MyInvestorList.com.
