Sanjay Mehta on investment preferences and startup ideas he won’t fund

Sanjay Mehta, a serial entrepreneur turned investor, gets nearly 200 startup investment proposals every month. The early stage investor has backed about 40 startups, both in his personal capacity and through various angel networks. “Startup investments allows investors to move the needle and make a meaningful contribution to the venture, unlike other assets classes (equities, gold and others) where you have to wait and watch how the market reacts,” Mehta told Techcircle.in. Going forward, Mehta says he will explore investments in early-stage ventures that specialise in big data, marketing automation, productivity enhancement, location services and quick services restaurants besides medical devices. Mehta lists marketplaces, e-commerce platforms and home services ventures’ among the 15 startup ideas he would refrain from funding. Mehta’s portfolio includes names such as Zippr Smart Address, AllizHealth, Prettysecrets.com, and Poncho (Box8.in) besides others. He is a member of Indian Angel Network, Mumbai Angels, Venture Nursery, B2B1K Ventures and CIO Angel Network. As an entrepreneur, his most recent venture was MAIA Intelligence. Last year, its business was recently sold to publicly-listed Datamatics Global Services. Mehta last invested in Bangalore-based Green Enabled IT Solutions Pvt Ltd, which operates IT reverse logistics startup Blubirch. For more logon to vccircle.com/vcc-tv
