    Part 3 - Off the Beaten Path: Wall Street to Startup Investor - A Fireside Chat with Pankaj Jain, Founder of Invest Stream

    Who is "Pankaj Jain" besides being the founder of Invest Stream and Founder Craft What came before?

    I've been a risk manager at the largest hedge fund in the world, LTCM, operator, product manager, entrepreneur, community builder at BarCamp Delhi, co-founder of HeadStart Network Foundation and Startup Weekend India.

    I've been a venture capitalist at TLabs and 500 Startups, advisor to startups, funds and platforms like AngelList India and most recently, a dabbler in startup and venture capital related video content.

    My friend and former colleague, Ritesh Bansal, suggested interviewing me on the show to bring out more about who I am and what my journey has been. Naturally, I couldn't refuse an invitation to be on my show so get ready for a frank and open discussion between an old friend and I.
