Innovation Episode 1: Sky Fernandes, VU Venture Partners

On Innovation Episode 1 of the Aayaam 360 Podcast, I speak with Sky Fernandes, Founder and General Partner of VU Venture Partners. His firm invests throughout Consumer, Enterprise, FinTech, Frontier, Healthcare, and PropTech verticals.

VU Venture Partners has invested in 10+ unicorns, and the firm’s General Partners have collectively invested in over 25 unicorns throughout their careers, with 20+ multi-billion-dollar exits.

Through Venture University, their world leading Investor Accelerator, VU has built an innovative hyperscale VC model that enables the firm to operate with the scale, infrastructure, and deal flow strength of a multi-billion-dollar fund — without the burden of raising and deploying billions in capital.

The model allows VU to source 20,000+ deals per year and systematically train the next generation of “Smart Capital” investors.
