In today’s 40 Minute Mentor episode, we’re joined by Dinika Mahtani, Partner at Cherry Ventures, the early-stage VC firm led by a team of entrepreneurs with experience building fast-scaling companies, such as Zalando and Spotify.
Prior to her move into VC, Dinika was an Operator, working across Banking, UberEats EMEA and Uber’s JUMP e-bike product in the UK. She also served as Director of Finance and Operations at ClimateTech startup, Kaluza.
Today, we take a trip back down memory lane, discussing those fundamental years as an Operator and how she made the move into VC.
It’s a conversation filled with mentorship for Founders and anyone considering the VC route as their next career step.
