The Story
Nirvan joined ALCOR Fund as a Business Analyst, where his primary work was supporting early-stage startups in securing venture capital funding. The role was research-driven: he conducted market research to help startups understand their competitive landscape and investor research to identify the right VC firms and partners for each company's stage and sector.
The work required him to understand both sides of the table: what made a startup fundable from an investor's perspective, and how to position a company's story in a way that matched what investors were actively looking for. This was an early exposure to the mechanics of private markets and the research that underpins investment decisions.
