Manjula Naidu

I've built investment platforms and accelerator programs across DealStreetAsia, Expert Dojo, Qi Ventures, and Krystal Ventures Studio, connecting startups with investors and strategic growth opportunities.

At Expert Dojo, I supported the launch of its India fund, managed a team of four, and oversaw a portfolio of 300+ global startups. I led investor and distributor outreach for a $45M target fund and prepared investment recommendations for committee approval.

I led LP engagement at DealStreetAsia, building an 18,000+ contact investor database and organizing a Hong Kong event for 200+ LP attendees. My work has included relationships with fund-of-funds, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, angel investors, and co-investment partners.

I've also founded a virtual reality business, generated $500K+ in sales in its first three months, and held operational and deal-desk roles at Adobe and Dell. I bring an MBA from IIM Kozhikode, NISM AIF certification, and hands-on experience in fundraising, portfolio management, startup evaluation, and mentorship.
