How this CS took the startup route with LetsVenture – an online platform that facilitates angel investing in start-ups

• Hi! My name is Anshu Tiwari, a qualified Company Secretary in possession of a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB).
• I was born and bred in Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, and I spent the last 6 years in Bangalore, India.
• My family and relatives wanted me to pursue a profession in Engineering, but I chose to be a CS. 
• What is unique about my journey is that I got an opportunity in Compliance early in my career at an angel investing platform. In fact, here I have had the privilege to witness almost all the stages of venture capitalism.
• Here are some of my learnings.

Challenges in choosing a career

My family wanted me to pursue a profession in Engineering, but I knew deep down that Mathematics and Science were not my friends. Neither was Accounting. Now, what could I have chosen as a career path?

After all, I realized that I had a sharp memory and this inspired me to take the offer to study towards being a CS as I was already a Commerce student whose Accounting was shaky.

My family and relatives never tried to convince me otherwise although other people thought that I was making a big mistake. Despite it being termed a mistake, I went on with it and I do not regret having done so.
