About Sthapit Capital
Bridging Nepal's exceptional talent with global opportunities through founder-led investment and mentorship.
Founder's Story
My journey began as a technologist working across Silicon Valley, European tech hubs, and emerging markets. Throughout my career, I witnessed firsthand how exceptional talent exists everywhere, but access to capital, networks, and global markets remains concentrated in just a few geographies.
After years of building products used by millions, scaling engineering teams, and navigating international markets, I realized that some of the sharpest minds I encountered were from Nepal — brilliant engineers, innovative problem-solvers, and ambitious entrepreneurs who lacked just one thing: early-stage capital coupled with global market access.
This realization led to the creation of Sthapit Capital. I've seen what happens when talented founders get the right support at the right time. Now, I'm committed to ensuring that geographic location doesn't determine entrepreneurial success.
My global experience in AI infrastructure, developer tools, and scaling technology companies gives me a unique perspective on what it takes to build from Nepal for the world. Sthapit Capital is my way of paying it forward.
