Sramana Mitra: Let’s double-click down on deep tech and seed investing in 2021. What check sizes are you writing and what does a team need to have in place for you to be willing to write that first check?
Karthee Madasamy: We invest between Seed and Series A. A lot of our stuff is with Series A. We selectively do seed, post-seed, or pre-Series A. Our check sizes range from $500,000 to $3 million. Our seed is probably $1 million to $2 million, but we’ve also done $3 million and $500,000.
