Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Romulus Capital?
Krishna Gupta, the founder and managing partner, leads all investment decisions. Gupta started the firm while an MIT undergraduate and has built a team that includes engineering PhDs to evaluate technically complex deals. The firm operates as a small, centralized partnership.
How does Romulus Capital source deals?
Romulus sources deals almost entirely through deep relationships with university research labs, technology transfer offices, and on-campus entrepreneurial networks. Gupta and his team monitor patent filings, attend lab presentations, and track PhD candidates forming companies before they formally incorporate. This university-centric approach gives Romulus access to deals months before they reach broader venture marketplaces.
Does Romulus Capital participate in follow-on rounds?
Romulus invests primarily at the seed stage and participates in follow-on rounds selectively. The firm reserves capital for its strongest-performing portfolio companies but does not pursue a pro-rata strategy across every investment. This capital-efficient approach aligns with its relatively small fund size.
