Suranga Chandratillake is a former deep-tech founder-CEO who scaled blinkx from Cambridge to San Francisco and then to a London IPO with a peak $1B+ market cap, bringing hands-on experience across UK, US and public markets to his European venture investing at Balderton Capital. He's unusually vocal about founder mental health and burnout for a GP, leading Balderton's founder wellbeing survey work and speaking candidly about his own CEO transition to normalize conversations with founders about stress and sustainability.

Notable Investments
Balderton Capital operates as an equal partnership where founders access the collective expertise of all partners—many of whom are ex-founders or senior operators of multi-billion-dollar tech businesses—rather than being tied to a single deal partner, and has become Europe's most active Series A investor with early bets on companies like Revolut, Depop, and Darktrace. The firm runs a formal Founder Wellbeing & Performance platform that offers programming around mental and physical health, coaching, and peer-to-peer groups, treating founder health as a core part of company performance rather than a side benefit.
