About
Amit Kumar is a three-time technical founder who deliberately chose venture capital after realizing he loved supporting founders more than being a repeat CEO, positioning himself as co-founder as a service who adopts founders' missions as his own and maintains extremely high-bandwidth communication with portfolio companies. He's known for his people first personal mission, running a mentorship program with around 200 UC Berkeley students, and going early into non-obvious categories like mental health where he led Accel's early seed investment in Headway when the sector wasn't yet popular.
