Sramana Mitra: Let’s do quickly a few other companies and just focus on the problems they’re solving. We don’t need to go into the stages, but let’s just get a sample of the problems they’re solving.
>>>Sramana Mitra: So let’s double click down on some of the companies that you have invested in and tell us a bit about the situation. At what stage did they come? What did they have already? What did you see that compelled you to invest in those companies? How do you see the potential? Let’s do two or three examples.
>>>Sramana Mitra: So if you are doing a pre-seed round in AI, what do you ask to see in the company? Do you see an MVP? Do you see just a concept? What stage are you investing in?

During this week’s roundtable, we had two pitches.
Olive Stacks Education
First, we had Jerry Nwodobo from Lagos, Nigeria, pitch Olive Stacks Education, an EdTech venture.
Endeavour Education
Next Amol Namjoshi from Mumbai, India, pitched Endeavour Education, also pitched an EdTech venture concept.
In both cases, and in EdTech in general, assuming that you can create vast ranges of EdTech content is naive. It’s extremely expensive to create high quality, differentiated content that can get people to pay. Also, the competitive landscape in EdTech is very noisy at this point.
