What you likely need

Swapnil is a high-signal serial founder with two successful exits and a third venture (Zeni) processing $1B in startup finances monthly — he's in the growth phase and likely focused on scaling revenue and positioning for a major liquidity event. His dual role as GP at Twin Ventures and active angel investor in 40+ startups makes him a rare operator-investor whose network and deal flow are genuine competitive advantages.

Are these your current priorities?

We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.

  • fundraisingWith $47.5M raised and $1B in monthly transaction volume, Zeni is well-positioned for a Series C — prepare a data room highlighting revenue growth, NRR, and the AI differentiation story to attract top-tier growth funds.
  • positioningPublicly articulate Zeni's path to $1B valuation given the $1B/month in finances processed — this narrative is already forming in press and will attract both enterprise customers and late-stage investors.
  • fundraisingLeverage your two high-profile exits (Mezi at $150M, Dhingana) and 40+ angel portfolio to raise a formal Fund II for Twin Ventures with a larger LP base, formalizing what is already a strong track record.
  • hiringZeni's 335-person team and $12M ARR suggest a scaling phase — prioritize hiring enterprise sales leadership to accelerate the move upmarket from startup clients to mid-market and SMB finance teams.
  • introsIntroduce Zeni's AI bookkeeping platform to your 40+ angel portfolio companies as design partners and early customers — this creates a captive reference customer base and accelerates product-market fit validation.
  • positioningYour 'CEO Coach' positioning on LinkedIn is an underutilized brand asset — publishing a structured content series on lessons from two exits and building Zeni would amplify your thought leadership and attract inbound deal flow for Twin Ventures.
  • tacticalDeepen the existing Zeni-Rippling integration into a formal go-to-market partnership, given Rippling's scale and your shared startup customer base — this could be a significant distribution channel.
