About
Sahaj Kothari
Partner, Capzara Capital
Two decades on every side of the table that matters in technology. Built and sold two companies, managed over $100M in revenue across 42 brands in the USA, UK and Middle East, advised inside Ernst & Young and Bain, and now invests through Capzara Capital.
That combination is rare. Most investors write a cheque and wait. Capzara takes an equity position and puts people into the business to build the commercial engine alongside the founders.
The firm
Capzara Capital works with founders two ways.
The Operator Fund
Invests $50K to $500K per position in post-revenue companies across Western Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and contributes the commercial execution - go-to-market, sales architecture, market entry - alongside the capital.
Capzara Advisory
Helps post-revenue founders raise $1M to $20M in institutional capital across the USA, Europe and the UAE, from pitch narrative through to close.
Background
Operator first, investor second.
2× exited founder
Led, scaled, and exited two ventures: a DTC jewelry brand and a performance growth agency for consumer and SaaS companies.
$100M+ in revenue delivered
Real operator experience across the USA, UK, and Middle East across 42+ brands. Not advisory theory.
