Trusting the Process

After 20 years of angel investing, Kanth Miriyala of Opika Ventures has developed a criteria for investing in post-revenue tech startups. Our focus? Connecting prospective investors with premier opportunities in cutting-edge technologies. We meticulously source and vet these opportunities, ensuring we only present our best to our community.

Investing in startups is an asset class that has historically outperformed the stock market. However, the challenges of finding, sourcing, vetting, selecting, and investing in the right startups have led many potential investors to miss out on these opportunities. Additionally, its low correlation with other asset classes makes it an attractive asset for diversification. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of this industry, sharing the lessons we've learned over the years.

You’ll learn:

  • Startups as an asset class and how it differs from others and traditional investments.
  • How Opika selects new investments and the methodology behind their process.
  • How much you should allocate to diversify your portfolio.
  • The risks involved when investing in startups and other asset classes.
  • Where you can find such syndicates.
