The team

Built by people who've raised, built & backed companies.

Three operators, one belief: how founders pitch and how investors actually decide were both overdue for a rebuild.

Pankaj Singh

Founder, SlydS · Partner, OneAlphaNorth Capital · Host, Driving a Startup

Over the last decade, Pankaj and his team at SlydS have worked with 3,000+ founders. Some are breakout names like Groww, Porter, and Bombay Shaving Company. Many more are early-stage hustlers raising their first round.

They've shipped 40,000+ slides, and those decks have helped raise more than $2.1B. What he cares about most isn't the numbers. It's the belief he helps founders build in themselves, and in how investors come to see them.

Today he wears another hat at OneAlphaNorth Capital, a fund investing in tech, health, and consumer. And when he isn't behind a deck, he's behind a mic, hosting his podcast Driving a Startup.

Deepak Kumar

Co-founder, craise · Co-founder, SlydS

Deepak has spent the last decade turning SlydS into a trusted partner for founders raising smarter. He combines design, storytelling, and strategy into pitch materials that look sharp and actually move investors.

Across India, MENA and Europe he's worked with 1,000+ startups including Groww, Porter, Bombay Shaving Company, and BluSmart, helping founders raise over $1B in capital. Seven unicorns and counting.

He started out as a math guy who loved equations and numbers. Today he gets the same kick from seeing those numbers turn into valuations, term sheets, and success stories.

Rishi Khiani

Co-founder, craise · CEO, Antfarm

Rishi is the builder. He founded Scootsy (acquired by Swiggy) and UrbanEye, two exits across consumer and B2B. He co-founded Fork Media Group (Curly Tales, Mashable India), and has led Times Internet, Times of India, and Network18 as CEO.

He runs Antfarm, his studio, and co-founded Kaam, a work-OS for hiring and operations. craise is the bet that pulls his decade across operating, investing and storytelling together.

The conviction underneath: most software still treats users like operators of forms. The next decade belongs to products that treat them like decision-makers. craise is that thesis, applied to fundraising.

Why we built this

Three thousand pitches in,
we'd seen enough to fix it.

Decks vanish into inboxes. Founders guess at interest. Investors lose context between meetings. craise is what we wished we had, for the founders we've spent a decade pitching for, and the ones we're investing in now.
