The Story
Onkar joined Asva Capital as a Dealflow Associate, working across the full early-stage investment cycle for a Web3-focused fund. His remit covered sourcing, initial evaluation, and post-investment support for portfolio companies.
He sourced and supported investments into multiple projects across blockchain infrastructure and tooling. For each, he ran initial founder calls, took notes, and conducted deeper due diligence on the product, team, market size, and GTM strategy.
His research process was hands-on. He read VC portfolio reports and investment theses from top firms to stay current on where capital was moving, and he tested products himself to form independent views on traction and user behaviour. That background reading fed directly into how he framed questions during founder calls.
He also supported portfolio companies with market research and investor relations work, giving him exposure to the post-investment side of the fund's operations.
