hi, i'm Inuka.

i spent years building software. then one day i ended up on the other side of the table — evaluating software, evaluating founders, writing cheques.

nobody handed me a guide. VC has this weird culture where everyone pretends they already knew everything, so you end up learning by osmosis and hoping you don't make expensive mistakes.

i made some expensive mistakes.

so i started writing it all down. the cap table math that tripped me up. the fundraising dynamics nobody explains out loud. the stuff founders get wrong because they trusted the wrong deck template.

this isn't thought leadership. it's just notes from someone still figuring it out, written in a way that i wish someone had written for me.

what i write about

• cap tables — SAFEs, dilution, pro-rata rights, the maths most people avoid
• fundraising — how rounds actually work vs how they're described on Twitter
• deal flow — what VCs are actually doing when they say "in diligence"
• startup reality — the operational stuff nobody glamourises
• APAC specifically — because most VC content is written for Sand Hill Road
