The person behind Sasta VC

Hey, I'm Rishabh.

Rishabh, founder of Sasta VC

I run growth for financial services firms: GTM, business development, partnerships and revenue operations, with communications as the layer on top.

The Deal origination system for boutique IB, VC, NBFCs & Fintech.

I spent four years inside deal rooms, closing startup debt, structuring cross-border facilities, and navigating investor conversations where every word either builds conviction or loses the room. I've worked on ~$35M in RBF and venture debt disbursements, run business development for a fintech lender, and built my own B2B SaaS startup from zero.

That background shapes everything I write. I understand term sheets, LP updates, debt covenants, and pipeline decks, not as a translator, but as someone who's lived inside these workflows. When I write your LinkedIn content or build your GTM motion, I'm not guessing at what resonates with a credit committee or a fund LP. I know.

Outside the spreadsheets, I studied and worked in New Zealand, spent months in China building market intuition, and rode through South India on a bike. The kind of person who thinks the best ideas come from being slightly too far from home.

"Most finance content reads like it was written by compliance, approved by a committee, and published by a robot. I fix that."
