Jayraj Bharat Patel
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those clod and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Jayraj is a fellow at Kalaari primarily focuses on Distributed Computing, Crypto, DeFi, NFT’s, and Web 3.0. He is a management graduate from Lancaster University (’18).

Post that, he went on to join Paper.vc as their sole analyst.
