About Vinod Keni

Three decades. Two continents. Every seat at the table. I have been founder, CFO, VC, board member, and advisor, often simultaneously. That vantage point is rare. It is what makes the work I do genuinely useful. WHAT I DO Through Peachtree Capital Partners, I invest across venture capital, secondaries, venture buyouts, and cross-border opportunities in India and select global markets. Through 100Unicorns, I advise and work with portfolio companies and their founders on scaling, fund raise, governance and support. I assist with investor relations and fundraising for their new deep tech and early stage fund. Through Peachtree Management Advisors, I provide Fund CFO, fractional CFO, and strategic advisory to VC funds, family offices, startups, and mid-market companies — spanning capital strategy, portfolio value creation, and governance. WHERE I ADD THE MOST VALUE · Founders at scale inflection points: capital raises, new markets, founder-to-CEO transitions. · VC funds seeking Fund CFO capability, LP relations support, or a senior operating partner. · SME and mid-market companies ready to institutionalise: governance, financial infrastructure, inorganic growth. · Businesses expanding cross-border: into or out of India; who need a partner who has actually done it. · Boards seeking an independent director with financial rigour, investment acumen, and entrepreneurial judgment. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT I have built businesses and taken them public. Deployed capital as a VC and raised it as a founder. Worked in Atlanta, Singapore, Mumbai, and Bangalore. I can combine global best practices, financial & entrepreneurial rigour and discipline with pragmatism that is solution oriented. OPEN TO Advisory & consulting mandates (fractional CFO, Fund CFO, strategic advisory) Board and independent director positions Co-investment and deal flow partnerships Speaking and thought leadership collaborations Drop me a message. I read every one.
