About
I'm Vince Kohli, a Strategic Advisor at Google DeepMind and an Impact VC Investor. My journey has been defined by a passion for exponential technology and a commitment to uplifting humanity. As a 6X tech entrepreneur and mentor at institutions like Y Combinator and Stanford, I've helped founders raise over $3 billion and navigate the complexities of scaling moonshot ideas. I focus deeply on the intersection of Generative AI, Deep Tech, and Social Impact, believing that deep empathy and emotional intelligence are the ultimate drivers of business value. Whether I'm judging pitches at MIT or advising at X, the moonshot factory, my goal is to foster resilience and drive innovation that solves global challenges. I'm here to offer my experience in GTM strategy and fundraising to the next generation of founders while connecting with fellow investors to shape a more equitable, high-signal future.
