So, clearly articulating the investors’ point of view and being candid about it allows the founder to understand the investor perspective,” she says. When asked about her job, Radhakrishnan says she believes VCs are like gardeners. “Every plant will grow on its own — you can’t dictate how the plant grows. You can’t dictate the size of it. But you can provide the environment to protect the plant to ensure its success. ”Then, sometimes there are going to be things out of your control, for example, when it’s pouring like crazy right now [in January 2023 in California, at the time of the interview], some of these plants may not make it. ”But, my job is to do whatever I can do, like providing the nutrition and fertiliser and the protection that it needs, that’s how I think of the job as a VC – to be there, behind the scenes, supporting your founders, helping them achieve their dreams.” See the full list of Emerging Leaders 2023 here .
