Siddharth Dhanrajani | Venture Capital Careers

I am an investment analyst with experience across venture capital, private equity, M&A, corporate finance, and multi-asset investment research. I currently evaluate early-stage opportunities in industrial technology, robotics, semiconductors, AI-enabled manufacturing, and EPC, while developing investment theses and authoring research for fund decision-making. Previously, I originated recommendations on six-plus issuers for a £100k multi-asset portfolio, influencing exits, additions, and allocation decisions. I have also executed buy-side diligence on £2 million to £5 million mandates, driven two private transactions to exclusivity, built financial models across three or more jurisdictions, reduced manual reporting by approximately 30%, and escalated more than $2 million in financial anomalies with zero audit findings.

I sourced and screened 8–10 early-stage opportunities across semiconductor design, AI-enabled manufacturing, robotics, and EPC, advancing two into active evaluation. I am developing an industrial-biotech investment thesis through expert interviews and authored two investment analyses published under the fund’s banner.
