Gaurav Manglik invests the way he does because he's lived it: he built and sold CliQr to Cisco, dealt with the pain of multi-cloud lock-in firsthand, and now looks for startups solving that same kind of infrastructure complexity, like Spectro Cloud's work across cloud, private, and edge systems. He traces his approach back to the mentorship he got from Warren Weiss during his CliQr days, and he talks about his time at WestWave as a way of passing that same support on to founders now.
