Krishna Srinivasan has spent more than two decades investing specifically in Texas companies, looking closely at how a founder's personal path led them to the problem they're solving, and he typically stays on as a board member for the long haul—he was even non-executive chairman of DISCO through its IPO—with a particular interest in Texas real estate startups that pair industry veterans with technical talent, including companies like OpCity, OJO, and Homeward. Before becoming an investor he wrote supply-chain software at Motorola and studied engineering and operations research at IIT Madras and UT Austin, and outside of work he chairs the Miracle Foundation board supporting orphanages in India, serves as vice chair of Austin PBS, and has summited Kilimanjaro and trekked to Everest Base Camp with his family.
