About

Built through execution.

I'm Aakash "Kash" Kapur - an operator, advisor, and investor with over a decade of experience across sustainable finance, venture capital, ESG, and early-stage technology. Dual national (UK & US), with experience working on both sides of the pond and with global client experience (US, UK & Europe, LATAM, Japan, Australia, India, and Middle East).

I'm COO & Head of Business Development at Nossa Data, which I joined as the second hire pre-revenue and helped scale to cash-flow positive - leading ~33% of sales, ~63% of funding, and ~85% of hires, including the first VC term sheet and successful Innovate UK grants.

Previously at RBC Global Asset Management (Boston), where I helped grow $7m+ in revenue over four years. Imperial College MBA (Distinction). I take on a small number of fractional and advisory engagements each year with founders and fund managers I believe in.
