Contrarian Signals

Leads 90% of deals; will not follow consensus or compete on crowded termsblog
Concentrated 30-company portfolio — rejects index-style diversificationblog
Impact must be core business driver, not mission statement veneerblog

Founder Do's

Build in preventative health, sustainable consumption, or essential services (housing, insurance, education)
Demonstrate impact as core to the business model, not a marketing wrapper
Be open to Eka leading or co-leading your round
Target pre-seed or seed stage with a clear path to Series A
Be reachable proactively — Eka's AI sourcing finds companies before they raise

Founder Don'ts

Don't treat impact as superficial ESG branding — Eka will scrutinise authenticity
Don't expect a large portfolio slot — only 30 companies per fund, selectivity is high
Don't pitch if you are outside the UK or post-seed stage
