About
Alana Goyal built Base Case Capital in her mid-20s by embedding with technical teams and doing hands-on product work before raising a formal fund, essentially incubating her future portfolio rather than starting with a traditional thesis. She acts as an outsourced head of talent for her earliest-stage companies, personally meeting over 100 engineers per quarter and closing founding hires herself, while maintaining a highly technical brand through shipping side projects and jumping directly into product discussions with founders.
