Hi! I'm Hari Raghavan. I love moving atoms and pennies with bits.
I'm a loyalist to some people, some causes, and all dogs.
I love unblocking bottlenecks, anything that makes the world more efficient or less annoying. I love talking about / working on / investing in anything that can be described as an “API for X”.
What sparks joy at work
- Optimizing strategy at the intersection of Product x GTM, especially for complex businesses (data companies, marketplaces, fintech, or new categories)
- Compensation approach (especially for tricky roles like founding team / execs)
- Fundraising strategy — as both a founder at AbstractOps / Autograph and active investor (out of the Autopilot Fund), we see a lot of data on both sides of the table
- How to value and invest in companies with alpha
What sparks joy in life
- Debating government / politics in the US, and how one might fix it
- Hanging out with my family, friends, and dog
- Great wine or cocktail bars
- Fantasy novels (huge Brandon Sanderson dork)
- Good TV (I’ve seen 200+ shows)
