Nakul Mandan invests or supports investments through Audacious Ventures's published strategy: Back exceptional early-stage founders pursuing improbable outcomes and help them recruit an extraordinary team, build a repeatable go-to-market engine and remove capital constraints.
Audacious, intense and tenacious founders with unusual ability, a large market and the force-of-nature energy required to move mountains.
The firm emphasizes exceptional founders and large markets; teams lacking intensity, recruiting ambition or venture-scale outcomes are less aligned.
Make the improbable outcome credible through founder quality, market scale, early insight and the talent and go-to-market bottlenecks Audacious can attack directly.
