Anjula Acharia is a venture capital investor who focuses and invests primarily in female-founded companies. One such company is Gobble, the meal kit delivery service founded and led by Ooshma Garg. The pair joins Cheddar to explain how female influence in the VC space is positive and necessary.
Acharia explains that one of her callings is to support female innovators. The tech investor has championed founders including Payal Kadakia from Class Pass, Kathryn Minshew from The Muse, Prena Gupta from Hooked, and Karissa Bodnar from Thrive Causemetics.
Garg says that having a VC investor like Acharia in your corner is invaluable. Acharia both provides financial support and business guidance.
When asked how Gobble competes with Blue Apron, Garg explains that the key to her business is putting convenience at the forefront. Gobble meals only take 15 minutes and everything can be prepared in one pan.
