Krishna Visvanathan co-founded a deep-tech startup before moving into venture capital, and he brings a distinctly international background, having been born and raised in Malaysia before spending 36 years in the UK. He has a track record of taking distinctive positions in AI and enterprise tech—leading Crane as the sole European investor in H2O.ai's $40M Series C, pushing for heavy investment in India within Crane's APAC fund, and building a reputation for spotting themes early that later become widely accepted bets.
