The Builders
Pratim Pathak
Founder
Pratim started Build.Club when the private markets in terms of capital flow and talent supply drastically started correcting and it became clear that large expensive teams, with inflated compensations and poor skill fit, are not conducive to sustainable long-term business building, especially in the early stages. The objective from the inception has been to bring in high-quality effective teams, at reasonable commercials who can plug in and start playing from day zero, thus eliminating the need for super-expensive teams and the added frills!
He has worked across multiple startups in the core teams from the inception days and has led critical mandates across GTM, Revenue and Fundraising. Pratim was a VC Investor with pi Ventures where focused on early-stage investing in AI, Deeptech and Enterprise startups. He is deeply involved in the startup ecosystem through various private syndicates, angel investments and advising seed-stage startups.
Pratim is a graduate of BITS Pilani. He serves as an Investment Committee Member for BITS Spark, PIEDS and various Startup India schemes.
