About Anu Hariharan
We launched avra September 2023. We created avra with a clear goal - to empower growth stage founders with the right foundation required to scale their company post Series A. We believe the best way to learn as a CEO is from peers and experienced CEOs and operators who have seen scale and company building is dynamic - therefore it is prudent to adapt best practices continuously. We run a 7-week long program focused on scaling as a CEO. Each week, we cover a different company-building topic ranging from executive hiring and management to scaling engineering and scaling people. The program is free for founders to participate. Prior to avra, I co-led Y Combinator's growth fund called the Continuity Fund focused on growth stage investments. More recently, I led investments in Instacart, Brex, Gusto, Faire, Monzo, Rappi, Vouch , Groww, Snapdocs, Whatnot, Boom, RevenueCat among others. I am also personally passionate about global technology investing and the convergence of great entrepreneurs across US, China, India and Latin America. I am an angel investor in ByteDance, Ant Financial, Curated among others. Previously, I was a Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where I focused on consumer internet growth investments, and worked actively with the management teams of a number of portfolio companies including Airbnb, Instacart, Medium, OfferUp and Udacity. Prior to Andreessen Horowitz, I was a Principal at The Boston Consulting Group's Private Equity practice in NYC where I led multiple growth equity due diligences in the consumer and fintech sector. I started my career as a senior software engineer at Qualcomm and hold a MS in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech and MBA from The Wharton School If you would like to contact me please DM me here - superdm.me/anu
