Anu Nigam

Ever since I joined my first startup in 1996, I’ve enjoyed working with small, driven teams, helping to transform cutting-edge technologies into real businesses. My first two startups revolutionized fiber-optic telecommunications, resulting in two acquisitions among the top 10 largest VC-backed M&A deals of all time. After the .com crash, I shifted my sights to consumer internet and started one of the world’s first social networks, hi5.com, which grew to 60M MAU. Later in my career, I followed the explosion of smartphones to found an app discover site that organically attracted 15M installs.

Beyond my life as an operator, I was an active investor and mentor including serving as President of Sand Hill Angels in Palo Alto, CA. I’ve long recognized that good advice and mentorship are both more rare and precious than capital. That led me in 2017 to join Enjoy The Work as a Managing Director and Partner.
