Dinika Mahtani is a Cherry Ventures partner who scaled operations at Uber across multiple regions and now uses that hands-on operating experience to help early-stage founders with commercial execution, metrics definition, and building scalable processes rather than focusing only on capital and board work. She publicly shares a detailed framework for breaking into venture capital based on her own operator-to-partner journey and is known for being unusually accessible to founders, often stepping into public-facing roles with portfolio companies to discuss practical scaling challenges.

Notable Investments
Cherry Ventures is a pan-European seed fund run entirely by former founders and operators from hyper-scaling tech companies like Zalando, requiring all investment team members to have entrepreneurial experience and positioning itself as "founders backing founders." The firm provides seed-stage companies with typically late-stage support infrastructure including dedicated global recruitment and in-house communications teams, while maintaining a track record as the first institutional investor in major European tech companies like Auto1 Group, FlixBus, and Flink.
