About
Maya Bakhai is a venture capital investor at Spice Capital who describes herself as an outsider in VC and has built her investment philosophy around cultural arbitrage—using her lived experience and cultural instincts to spot opportunities others miss. She was one of the earliest VCs to join crypto Discord communities in 2021 for networking and information advantages, and brings an unusually creative background from developing musicals, films, and podcasts to how she evaluates founders and storytelling.
