Hi, I'm Naman Lahoty :)
I'm a 2x entrepreneur-turned-VC at Stellaris Venture Partners, where I currently work as a Principal. In my previous avatar, I worked as an early employee in startups like Flipkart and Toppr. I then founded 2 startups where I saw multiple ups and downs, and raised early funds from angel and institutional VCs. Over the last 5 years, in my journey as an investor, I have had the opportunity to evaluate 100+ startups in depth, across multiple sectors.
I love to help founders and have been helping my founder friends and friends of friends in their ideation journey, brainstorming with them and giving them candid feedback. I now want to expand my spectrum beyond friends to anybody who is working on a promising idea and has the potential to build a lasting business. I'm looking to connect with budding and aspiring entrepreneurs and help them navigate their ideation and startup journey during the early days.
As part of Startup Navigator, I engage in one-on-one informal conversations with founders and builders who want to discuss their ideas and get feedback. I also help founders who have already started working on an idea to help them think through their initial strategy and increase their fundraise probability. This can even lead to multiple conversations in the subsequent months if need be. If you’re a founder/aspiring entrepreneur looking for some guidance, Startup Navigator might be for you.
