Ankur Pahwa is the Co-founder and Managing Partner at PeerCapital, an early-stage venture capital
firm backing startups across two core themes of consumer tech enablers and applied AI.
Since transitioning from a two-decade leadership role at EY—where he championed digital-first,
consumer-internet, e-commerce, and startup advisory—Ankur Pahwa has infused PeerCapital with his
deep startup-stage acumen and passion for founder-led innovation.
At PeerCapital, he brings this deep startup experience to what he calls the “valuable capital”
approach—going beyond funding to provide strategic insight, operational guidance, and long-term
founder-first support. His foundational thinking is built on importance of founders being clear
on their “why” and sees purpose-driven innovation as the bedrock of enduring companies.
