Vivek Ladsariya is a multi-time founder turned investor who built and exited two startups in data infrastructure and industrial IoT before joining SineWave Ventures, giving him direct founder empathy in highly technical markets. He focuses on investing in companies that help major cloud platforms grow usage—like his early investment in Databricks—and specifically looks for startups with concrete early traction such as $200K+ revenue and pilots converting to contracts rather than vague product-market fit signals.
