Ganesh, ex-founder of Travelguru, co-founded an early global VC platform focused on fintech and financial inclusion in emerging markets, and—shaped by fundraising pain—built a more entrepreneur-friendly fund.

Too much noise has the risk of crowding out quality and potential too early. Let's ensure that doesn't happen this time. 10/10

At the same time, “financial inclusion” is being used loosely in several web3/DeFi startup pitches. @QuonaCapital team has been investing in financial inclusion for over a decade, and I can tell you the ecosystem needs to work much harder to separate the wheat from the chaff 9/10

…And it’s a gold rush on steroids. Infinite experiments, varying degrees of sincerity. And a collective challenge to keep up with all the innovations, to assess what has long term value and potential impact at scale. 8/10
