Raeeza Tameez

VC, Leo Capital
  • Bangalore

A Chartered Accountant by qualification, an Entrepreneur at heart and a VC by profession, I have gathered a rich set of experiences and skillsets in the intersection of finance and entrepreneurship.

My experience of building my own startup where I did all the tasks from building a team to building a product while at the same time strategizing and setting milestones and pitching for grants across multiple platforms has really helped me learn and understand business development beyond any MBA could teach me.

My deep passion and undying belief that startups have the power to solve pressing problems across all domains and industries drew me into the Venture Capital Industry enabling me to invest my time into supporting the creation of disruptive startups and witnessing the journey from seed stage.

My enriching experience in financial reporting and audit domains have helped me build skills around financial analysis, due diligence, risk management, professional skepticism and statutory compliances.

On a personality front, I would rate myself really high on people skills, adaptability skills and leadership skills. I thrive in pressure situations and have a positive attitude towards life!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
