On 27th Jan, the Global Talent Alumni Meetup is happening at a room full of builders, operators, investors, and quietly exceptional humans who chose the UK to build the next chapter of their lives.
Here’s a short clip of me sharing my own Global Talent Visa journey at Oasis London- the wins, the reality, and the lessons alongside the brilliant partners at Fragomen and the founding partner of Verb Ventures.
If you’re an alum, come through.
Drinks, conversations, new connections, and that familiar feeling of “oh wow, these are my people.”
PS: I’m hosting this months’s meetup(it’ll be wild 😉)

See you there 🤍

Not getting swallowed by it either.
Just learning how to play the game without losing ourselves😎.
Trying to keep our consciousness eternal
while still operating in the material world like functioning adults 😄
We serve together. Chant together. Dance together.
Then return to life disciplined, grounded (1002😉), and quietly badass.
Grateful for this crew.
you were with us in spirit (very much in Zayn’s amplifier 😂).
Same direction. Different flavours 🙏
So here’s what my 2016 actually looked like 😅:
20 years old.
Computer science student by day, running a tech startup by night.
Sleeping 4–5 hours. Always on calls.
Laptop everywhere.
Shamelessly pitching anyone who made eye contact.
No personal life, poor listener, short temper, and zero understanding of valuing relationships.
Everything was hustle, competition, and world dominance.
Hanging out with pre-TikTok YouTube & Dubsmash celebrities, traditional family business owners as clients 😬
Very performative. Always “on”.
More noise than depth.
Even went to Kainchi Dham (Neem Karoli Baba’s Ashram) that year, not for spirituality,
but because Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg had been there 🤡 Peak naive founder logic.
Ten years later
new direction, better reasons.
From “me” to “we”.
Still learning. Still unlearning 🙈
Sharing this not as a flex, just a reminder that these trends can be a good mirror.
If you’re figuring things out too, you’re not alone.
Let’s keep talking 🤗
and still make it home for dinner, fully present 😄
(Case on point: That might also look like a few focused hours after 10pm, supporting an investment readiness initiative with an investment banking client, then logging off with enough energy left for life).
AI isn’t coming to make us lazy.
It’s coming to make us more human.
The future isn’t just Universal Basic Income.
It’s Universal High Impact and with it, Universal High Income.
AI is projected to add $2.6–$4.4 trillion to global productivity every year.
Around 300 million roles will be “reshaped”, not erased, creating leverage where exhaustion used to live.
In conversations with founders, creatives, operators, and investor friends, a shared hope keeps surfacing.
Not to work less because work doesn’t matter,
but to work better, with room to have fun, be present, and show up fully for the people we love.
As machines take over repetition, optimisation, scale,human energy shifts upward to creativity, judgment, ethics, taste, and care.
Productivity stops being about hours logged
and starts being about clarity gained.
The floor rises. The upside expands.
In this future, the scarce resources aren’t labour or time.
They’re presence, imagination, and the courage to build what actually matters.
AI doesn’t replace ambition.
It gives life back to it.

They’ll forget your slides, your pitch, even your metrics.
But they’ll always remember how you made them feel.
In the venture game, we don’t just compete on ideas or capital.
We compete in the feelings economy.
Trust. Energy. Integrity. Authenticity.
(Snippet of a session with Kyiv National Economics University’s Startup School.)

A moment from my session with Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund on attracting right investors.
Know the fund’s thesis. Know how investment committees think.
Then it stops being a pitch and starts being navigation.
(Lived experience here.
Venture backed more than once. Raised from global investors. Delivered meaningful outcomes we all cared about)
Fundraising is basically dating with a cap table.
Share just enough.
Keep the spark.
Always earn the next meeting.
Trust first. Capital later.
Founders don’t need to perform.
They need to connect.

A man in a T-shirt looks prepared for uncertainty.
The suit says, “I know the rules.”
The T-shirt says, “I’ll figure it out.”
One is dressed for approval.
The other is dressed for adaptation.
Life rarely announces itself with calendar invites.
It shows up unplanned. Messy. Human.
The world is changing too fast for costumes of certainty.
Real preparedness today isn’t about looking important.
It’s about staying curious, calm, and capable when the plan breaks.
The most dangerous illusion?
Thinking confidence comes from what we wear.
Sometimes the most prepared person in the room
is the one comfortable enough to not look prepared at all 😌

A venture builder.
Talking about carbon removals not as a new asset class.
Not as a box to tick for risk mitigation.
But as future security.
Because this isn’t just about pricing carbon or modelling downside.
It’s about whether our systems, cities, food, capital, and communities remain viable at all.
Carbon removal sits at that intersection where climate, economics, and long-term resilience meet.
Not optional. Not speculative. Foundational.
The shift is happening.
From “What’s the return?”
To “What future are we underwriting?”
And that changes everything.
#carbonremoval #climatetech #futuresecurity #impactinvesting #venturebuilding
Support founders & investors chasing bold, meaningful dreams
And grow in ways I never imagined
But the biggest shift wasn’t about work
It was something deeper, more personal
Because when everything is stripped away (the titles, the media attention, the applause) you meet a quieter version of yourself
The one who keeps going when no one’s watching
The one who learns to rebuild from the inside out
With more clarity
More courage
More compassion
And I’m so deeply grateful
Grateful for the people who showed up
The ones who didn’t just cheer the wins
But stood beside the mess, the unknown, the in-between
Many of them strangers at first
Who became friends
And eventually, family
If you’re in a season of starting over
If you’re figuring things out quietly
Or learning to let go of what no longer fits
You’re not alone
And if this resonates, let’s chat
Some of us aren’t just building careers
We’re carrying stories no one sees
Trying to create what we never had
Chasing a future our younger selves never thought was possible
There’s always more than what meets the eye
And those who know, know…
#BeKind #CompassionateCapitalism
Not chasing exponential returns. That game’s crowded, predictable, and honestly, a little soulless.
What I’m really building is access and experiences:
1️⃣Rooms where deals happen before pitch decks even exist.
2️⃣Conversations that never make it into the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal because the best moves happen off the record.
3️⃣Unlock leverage most people don’t even know they’re missing.
In the last 2.5 years, I’ve worked with 600+ startups, connecting them with 70+ VCs, PE funds, and family offices. Along the way, I learned this:
The real edge isn’t capital. It’s not timing or some secret hack.
It’s trust. (And it’s earned)!
Trust gets you in the room.
Keeps you there when things get messy.
And it’s built by showing up as your full, weird, authentic self and not by trying to fit in.😎
Add a little love, peace, and radical understanding, and you’re compounding something way bigger than alpha(returns).🚀
So what’s my biggest asset?
Not a title. Not a fund. Not a flashy résumé.
Being a trusted ally (with a bit of divine intervention).
Because capital fades.
Trust compounds.
And authenticity builds empires.
To everyone building something bold and meaningful… we see you. We’ve got your back. Let’s do this… together!
Lots of love,
Akhil Menon ❤️
