Our Journey
Sri’s Journey
From humble beginnings to leadership at NIT Warangal, Sri’s path blended responsibility, service, and execution. Founding Lakshya Foundation, scaling AlmaBase, and undertaking the BSV Yatra led to the creation of Shifu Ventures and Shifu Foundation.
Prateek’s Journey
A BIT Mesra graduate, Prateek built his early career helping companies scale with speed and operational rigor. His journey converged with Sri at AlmaBase, culminating in the co-founding of Shifu Ventures and Shifu Foundation, where he now serves as COO.
Shifu Ventures
Shifu Ventures partners with B2B, AI-first companies showing early revenue traction and strong founder conviction. We onboard companies at $100–150K revenue and co-build with founders to scale them toward $10M ARR.
Shifu Fondation
Shifu Foundation is focused on identifying and enabling tech founders across every district of India. By backing young, educated, and innovative Indians, we aim to support at least one tech founder in each of India’s 800 districts.
We live by these core values
Great Culture is not good-to-have, but essential to attract and retain rockstar team members to build a generational company!We envision to build Shifu for the long-term, it will be our life's work!
There is only one life, and on top of it, it’s short and unpredictable. Nothing is worth pursuing if the journey is not fun!
We all innately strive for a fit body, a calm mind, and a home filled with love (as Naval wisely said 🫡). By supporting this, the company benefits in the long run - creating happier, more productive people working together towards the vision for the long term.
We have massive ambitions, but on an uncharted path. Having a strong bias for action and iterating quick will help us build in the right direction!
Don’t optimise for a bigger slice of the pie, instead strive to make the pie bigger.
Always strive for a win-win for the long-term!
We need to be almost obsessed about using Tech (especially AI) to 10X our efficacy, in almost every function! We need to build a strong online audience, and it will help us immensely in the long-term! These two are the biggest levers!
The team behind this massive vision
Our team is a mix of entrepreneurs, B2B Operators and Creators! We are fun to work with, and have deep passion for startups and our craft!
