About Investor

Aishwarya Makkar is a Investor and Chief of Staff at Stellaris Venture Partners and works with founders across the firm's investment platform. Their investment context is most relevant to seed and Series A Indian technology, fintech, SaaS, healthcare, consumer brands, AI, and software-led businesses. Their role can provide a useful entry point into the firm's investment process when there is strong sector and stage alignment. Founders should prioritize this investor when the company's stage, sector, geography, and business model line up closely with the firm's established investment strategy. The investor can be most useful when founders need help refining the fundraising narrative, understanding investment readiness, navigating diligence, and identifying the milestones required for the next round. Depending on seniority, the investor may also help with introductions to operators, portfolio founders, customers, hiring networks, and follow-on capital. For a founder choosing among investors, the best fit comes from matching the startup's specific market and financing stage with this investor's role, domain exposure, and ability to influence an investment decision.
