Technologist, investor, speaker, traveller, reader.
Hi, I'm Rohan. I work where fields collide.
Breakthroughs happen at the intersection of two or more fields — that's the space I like to operate in.
I work with emerging technologies, invest in startups from early stage to Series C, speak at public events, travel the world, and read across domains. This site is my public notebook.
About
Rohan Gupta.
I like working with emerging technologies. I like to traverse both the breadth and depth of knowledge. In that pursuit, I have picked up and worked across domains. I like to work at both ends of the scale.
I believe breakthroughs happen at the intersection of two or more fields, and that's the space I like to operate in. A lot of my professional work has drawn inspiration from this belief.
I also occasionally speak at public events, invest in startups across domains and stages (from early stage all the way up to Series C), and read across multiple domains.
Writing
A public notebook.
Essays and notes on technology, leadership, finance, travel, and books — organized by category.

Notes on early-stage investing

Leading with questions, not answers
The best leaders I've worked with ask more than they tell. Here's what I've learned from them.
What travel actually teaches you
It's not the landmarks. It's the thousand small recalibrations of what you assumed was normal.
A system for reading across domains
How I choose what to read, how I take notes, and why I always have three books going at once.
