Overview
Work Experience
Founder & CEO
2008 - Current
We're looking for the rebels. REMUS is a VC firm that leads Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds in Applied AI and Healthcare companies. We have a concentrated investment approach and focus on Building, not Betting. We admire people who think really big. Those who want to craft legendary, contrarian companies that can be worth $5B or more. We are patient, with youth and experience on our side. I founded the firm out of an MIT dorm in 2008, amidst the Great Recession. I've raised over $200M and we've proved ourselves to be exceptional partners across a decade. We are always there in the trenches with you and have brought many million-dollar customers to our companies. I sit on the boards of Aila, Allurion, Ceres Imaging, Cogito, Cohealo, Humanyze, PetaGene, Placester, Presto, Vyome Biosciences, and ZeroCater - we've been the first institutional investor in each. I've also led our investments into ClassPass, Bombfell, Disruptor Beam, Gyft (acquired: First Data), Crocodoc (acquired: Box), and SchoolMint (acquired: Hero K12). https://remuscap.com/team-member/krishna-k-gupta/
