Karan Mehandru, a venture capitalist at Trinity Ventures, had only started investing in 2007, but has had quite the 2019. In the span of only one year, his early-stage investments Cohesity, Outreach, and Auth0, achieved “unicorn” billion-dollar
valuations. At that threshold, he now has more unicorns in his individual portfolio than the vast majority of venture firms can claim as a whole. As an Indian-Canadian, Mehandru is a unique investor not just for his global outlook and track record for picking early winners, but also, perhaps more importantly, for his outspoken commitment to values-driven decision making.
