Note from The Executive Venture Syndicate

There is massive opportunity in AI/ML & Data driven Enterprise SaaS. This syndicate mostly co-invests alongside the Executive Venture Fund, which is focussed on investing in next-generation Enterprise SaaS AI companies.

We are very selective on deals. Our deal-vetting and due diligence process benefits from the insights of a large network of senior corporate executives and innovators from the Fortune-500 and beyond, and we invest in game-changing companies for which we can establish that our network provides tremendous value-add.

This syndicate is led by a strong team of 3 GPs with synergistic & diverse experience:

(i) Ankur Agarwal, (ii) Bernard Harguindeguy and (iii) Gurshaman Baweja.

Between them, they bring to the table:

PE Background (former MD at Vista Equity Partners - one of the most active software investors with 96B+AUM, focussed on AI/ML in Enterprise SaaS, Buyouts, M&A),
AI Strategy Expertise (advised 80+ CEOs & CTOs; former Boston Consulting Group and Microsoft Research),
Operator & IPO Experience (former CTO at Ping Identity; SaaS, Cybersecurity, AI/ML thought leader),
Serial Entrepreneurship Experience (founded & led companies acquired by Google, Sprinkler, Citrix, Symantec and more),
F500 Technology Executive Experience (former SVP & CIO at Texas Instruments; led large scale digital transformation, M&A strategy), and
Policy & Change Advocacy (Board Member at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society; Member of UT Dallas Inst. Audit Committee).
