Operator to Founder: Walk & Talk with Elevation Capital
Many of the best founders we’ve backed started out as operators inside great consumer companies.
At some point the thought starts creeping in: What if I built something myself?
This morning's walk is for operators in consumer tech who are thinking about starting up, exploring early ideas, or simply curious about what building the next consumer company could look like.
No decks. No pitches. No pressure.
Just a small group of operators walking through Cubbon Park and talking openly about:
• Early startup ideas and hypotheses
• Consumer trends we’re excited about
• What makes a consumer company defensible today
• Lessons from companies we've backed
• What the operator → founder transition actually looks like
Joining the walk:
Manish Advani and Vaibhav Chowdhury from the Consumer Investments Team at Elevation Capital.
They spend their time working closely with some of the most interesting consumer startups in India and are excited to trade notes, perspectives, and patterns they’re seeing.
After the walk, we’ll grab breakfast and coffee nearby and continue the conversation.
This is intentionally small and informal to keep the conversations thoughtful.
If you're a consumer tech operator thinking about building, we’d love to have you join.
