Hey, I’m Anshuman.
Over three decades across talent management, business operations and digital marketing pulled me deep into the startup world — and I never left. As co-founder and CEO of Startup Steroid , I’ve built a platform that streamlines how investors run their entire investment process.
I’ve sat through 5,000+ pitches, reviewed more than 10,000 decks, backed 50+ early-stage companies, and I manage a $3M fund dedicated to early ventures. Through TiE — from Executive Director and President of TiE SoCal to Chair of TiE SoCal Angels and now the TiE Global Board of Trustees — I’ve helped build the ecosystem founders lean on.
I also founded Optizm Global , an executive search firm built to assemble high-performing teams. Across every role, one thing has stayed constant: quality deliverables and straight, genuinely useful advice.
