THE FOUNDER’S BRIEF

Read the pattern before the pitch.

Written insights from the recorded portfolio, with the evidence linked below.

01

Start with the first entry

Raman Roy has dated investments in 120 companies. 112 first entries were at Angel, Pre-Seed or Seed (93.3%). An early-stage founder can use the sector and stage filters to find comparable companies before approaching the investor.

Explore the evidence ↗
02

Separate activity from reputation

2 first company relationships appear in the latest 24 months, compared with 13 in the preceding window. The latest recorded investment is 2025-12-15. This describes observed activity through 2026-05-22; it does not establish current availability.

Explore the evidence ↗
03

Plan the next financing step

70 of 118 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 43 of those companies again within that window. The difference is a reason to research the wider syndicate, rather than assume the same investor will fund the next round.

Explore the evidence ↗
04

Use a specific point of relevance

Retail Tech is the largest displayed sector by company count, appearing in 20 portfolio companies; sector tags overlap. 20 first entries carry a recorded lead flag and the median first-round syndicate includes 38 other named backers. Shared rounds are evidence of co-investment, not evidence of an introduction route.
