Excited to share that @taps and I have raised $31M for @GarudaVC’s debut institutional pre-seed and seed fund! It’s been a journey to get here and we’re grateful for all the support. Now it’s time to partner with even more exceptional founders. Reach out at hi@garuda.vc!
Today we are thrilled to announce the next chapter for Garuda Ventures with our $31M debut institutional fund. Our goal is the same as it’s been from the start: to support exceptional founders, and go all-in to help them build. Read more in our blog here:

We @GarudaVC are thrilled to be working with Larry and the @aiArchiveIntel team with our friends at @SocialLeverage! Special team, big market ripe for disruption @taps
@SocialLeverage portfolio company @aiArchiveIntel raised their seed round led by Garuda Ventures In my blog post today (link 👇) I share more about the Archive Intel story. The team at Archive Intel is solving a real pain- how do we communicate in the financial services industry in a compliant manner. We want to text, use iMessage, post on LinkedIn, use WhatsApp and X/twitter. This and email all need to be archived. Nobody wants a huge $$$ fine from the SEC or CFTC. Archive Intel was built to protect firms small and large. Leveraging AI makes the compliance teams more efficient and brings a modern solution to this growing problem. Congrats to the entire Archive Intel team led by Larry Shumbres

@gokulr @hunterwalk Yep great post. Perfectly encapsulates my time at Okta starting joining in 2013 and my approach moving to SF to break into tech. Wasn’t a new grad but principles still applied.
