About Haris

I currently manage a $400M+ investment fund and have spent my career across venture capital, hedge funds, and startup operating roles. Over the years, I’ve sat on both sides of the capital table, as a founder, startup CFO, venture investor, and fund manager. I’ve helped raise capital from Pre-Seed through Series A+, built investor pipelines from scratch, and evaluated thousands of opportunities as the one making investment decisions. Across my fund and angel investments, I’ve backed 50+ companies with multiple exits. I also advise founders through 1871, Techstars, Plug and Play, and 500 Global. I don’t coach full-time. I do this alongside my day job because I enjoy working with a small number of motivated people and giving back where I can. I’ve learned a lot by being in the seat myself, and I try to pass along what I’ve picked up from actually doing the work. It keeps things grounded and practical.
