Hardik Mittal

I was born in New Delhi and have fond memories of cricket and Bollywood from my childhood. There were growing rumblings of the importance of an American education at the time so my family decided to take a leap of faith and move to San Diego. I developed an enormous amount of respect for the immigrant journey during my formative years and that is what allows me to complement my relaxed SoCal personality with a relentless hustle to be the best. I graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering from UCLA. I wanted to get involved in the business side of tech after graduating so I took on a role in product marketing at Texas Instruments (TI). TI took a chance on me and allowed me to lead my own product line in the distributed timing domain, which grew to millions in ARR. At the same time, I was trying to find my footing in alternative career paths spanning writing, entreprenuership, and venture. I ended up gravitating most towards venture and joining SK Networks' corporate venture arm, where I invested in both startups and funds. And now, here we are... What is your professional background? Can you share a little about yourself? The non-zero probability that my next meeting could be with the next Zuck, Bezos, or Elon.
What excites you most about venture? What is one thing founders should know about you? I only like working with founders that have ambitions to be the best problem-solvers in their respective industries and they can can expect me to be a first-class partner in that journey.
