Paul Manivannan
Paul Manivannan has spent over a decade in the founder and capital-raising space as a business owner, operator, and entrepreneur. With experience hiring and leading over 10,000 people across multiple sectors, Paul made a pivotal move into the U.S. tech market in 2020, transitioning his focus to global tech startups and scale-ups.
Specializing in companies between Seed and Series B, Paul is a trusted advisor to investors and founders alike, helping scale-ups get “ready to raise” and “connected to capital.” In 2024, he launched the Land and Expand program—an innovative, seven-step framework designed to support scale-ups entering new geographic markets.
