Deepak Nanda
Founder & Managing Partner
Deepak Nanda is the founder of Georgia Venture Fund, with a background spanning fintech, data platforms, and enterprise-scale systems. He has worked across banking infrastructure, data engineering, and revenue operations, supporting complex financial environments and large-scale system transformations.
His experience includes building and analyzing data systems, working with cross-functional technical teams, and translating operational complexity into scalable solutions. This foundation informs a disciplined, systems-oriented approach to venture investing—focused on identifying asymmetric opportunities early and supporting founders through execution, not just capital.
Deepak founded Georgia Venture Fund with a clear thesis: that the next generation of high-impact companies will emerge from undercapitalized and overlooked ecosystems, particularly across the Southeast. The fund is focused on backing operators building in areas such as data infrastructure, applied AI, agtech, and real-world industrial systems.
