Elevation Capital partner and COO Vivek Mathur quits after 14-year

Vivek Mathur, partner and chief operating officer (COO) at Elevation Capital, has quit the venture capital firm after 14 years to focus on advisory and mentorship.

“I am now focusing on advisory and mentorship, supporting an exciting cohort of founders across sectors like D2C, Agri, Agri Tech, Climate, and Defence Tech. These founders will play a big part in shaping India’s future and I am very excited to be a part of their journeys!,” Mathur said while announcing his exit in a LinkedIn post.

Mathur also held various leadership roles in companies such as Dell Technologies, Scope International and Standard Chartered Bank. Through Elevation, he has backed startups, including ACKO, FirstCry, Paytm, Tracxn and Xpressbees among others.

In December 2024, Capillary Technologies co-founder Krishna Mehra joined Elevation Capital as a partner to lead AI and SaaS investments from Silicon Valley, strengthening the VC firm's India-US presence.
