About

I'm Elton Coelho, a Marketer at Blume Ventures, a homegrown Indian VC fund. My career has taken me from leading growth and brand at an impact-focused VC to now building Blume's presence through strategic content. I'm passionate about making venture capital accessible through precise, bold storytelling—whether that's unpacking founder playbooks, analyzing market trends, or advocating for smarter urban planning. I love experimenting with content formats and AI tools to build brands and communities. I'm always looking to connect with founders, investors, and fellow professionals who are shaping the startup ecosystem.

Opinions

  • Believes in creating content that is 'precise, incisive and bold'
  • Argues against car-centric solutions like tunnel roads for Bengaluru and advocates for a holistic, public-transport-first approach
  • Endorses investment theses about 'atoms' businesses (physical world disruption), globalizing VCs, and young founders in frontier tech
  • Describes the entrepreneurial journey in crypto as one of 'pure grit and grind in an ambiguous environment where success is off-sight'
