He built and exited Zeus Living and now leverages that operator experience to help startups scale.

You sold a company, started a fund, and now collect startups like rare vinyl, great taste, but stop telling us your DMs are ā€˜open’ unless you enjoy being the startup equivalent of a suggestion box.

Built Zeus Living from early growth through a $55M Series C, steered it through the pandemic, and sold it to The Blueground, then parlayed that success into Phosphor Capital with $50M deployed and hundreds of startups backed.

To find, back, and supercharge high-output founders, turning bold ideas into category-defining companies by providing capital, hard-earned operational know-how, and connections that accelerate scale and exits.

Believes speed and execution beat perfect plans, that founder-market fit and relentless output matter most, and that real value comes from rolling up your sleeves, sharing lessons, and wiring capital to teams who can move fast. Values community (YC roots), transparency, and practical playbooks over platitudes.

Operator credibility and exit experience, a massive YC/native founder network, a track record of deploying capital and helping startups scale, and the ability to turn lessons into clear, shareable threads that attract attention.

Can appear relentlessly busy and selective, DMs open attracts noise and founders might feel filtered out; spreading time across 200+ companies risks being transactional rather than deeply hands-on with every founder.

To grow on X, lean into founder-first content: regular 6, 8 tweet case-study threads showing before/after metrics, a pinned ā€œHow to pitch meā€ thread, weekly AMA Spaces with portfolio founders, short video takeaways, and curated warm intros. Use data and narrative (e.g., portfolio ARR, follow-on capital) to build credibility, reply thoughtfully to high-signal founders, and convert viral threads into repeatable formats so followers know what to expect.

Fun fact: Kulveer sold Zeus Living to The Blueground after navigating COVID-era chaos, wrote a viral thread that hit 2M+ views, and now runs Phosphor Capital with ~$50M invested across 200+ companies. He has 37,554 followers and has tweeted 9,190 times (so yes, he’s very online).

Congratulations @reductoai on their $75M Series B, led by @a16z! This is one of the best executions I've seen from a recent @ycombinator startup. @aditabrm & @raunakdoesdev - started incredibly narrow ("understand a PDF") - applied their unique insights to solving this problem - became extremely good at it - and then scaled rapidly from there - including building a genuine world class team From launch to working with a F10 company was a matter of months. Companies must unlock the data that is stored in their PDFs, documents & scans to get the most benefits from the AI revolution. Reducto have built the best infrastructure layer to do this. Proud to have backed them in their Seed and Series A rounds šŸš€šŸš€šŸš€

In 2005, as an undergrad in England dreaming about Silicon Valley, I knew San Francisco was where I needed to be. One fateful day, whilst toiling on my startup in London, I googled "startup mistakes" and discovered @paulg's essays. @harjtaggar and I applied to YC, unsure if they'd even fund Brits. After our interview in November 2006, we joined the W07 batch. YC changed our lives. I still don't think many people quite understand the impact and significance of YC has done and continues to do. Now I'm excited to be backing the next gen of founders coming out of YC. Happy Birthday!

Very excited to back @itsCathyDi & @dedaluslabs! Congrats on your $11M raise. What impressed me was: - the number of startups already building on Dedalus, which shows the platform already makes the orchestration of agents much easier and - Cathy's standout charisma and energy, she's uniquely compelling! šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

Was lucky enough to see the solstice sunset yesterday with the @NFX family. This was my first tech event since the pandemic started, but truthfully it felt more like a burn with friends, with an emphasis on sharing stories. Highly recommend the @SeaRanchLodge - truly stunning.
