    Achievements

    Since we started in 2014, Bold Kiln has worked with, and supported a large no of businesses through our portfolio of offerings – services on creative strategy, design, marketing & technology, co-working spaces, curated content and information needs, our in-house products, and indirectly in several ways as well.
    As a part of the vision with Bold Kiln, in late 2016, I setup OperatorVC – a $320k angel fund, working with three other GPs who’re part time on the fund. We’ve made 12 investments so far, and our on paper ROI is currently conservatively placed at 20% yoy.
