Profiel
As an Operating Partner at PointGuard Ventures, Nikhil draws from his wide range of entrepreneurial experiences, technical expertise, and marketing savvy to bring value to our portfolio companies and identify promising startups for us to partner with.
Before joining the PGV team, Nikhil founded the company Squadz, Inc., an online marketplace for sports & recreation activities, with the vision of revolutionizing and simplifying local sports by integrating mobile, social, data analytics, e-commerce, editorial content, and shared economy components into everyday community recreation programs.

While working with the software engineering team at Enlighted, an IoT energy management system for commercial buildings, Nikhil built a vital testing and diagnostic framework for the field engineering team that tracked communication within the company’s sensor network application during the installation and reparation processes at customer sites.
Nikhil holds a B.S.
and M.S.
