Ashish Mistry and BLM Ventures started with a $500k investment in a startup and never looked back.

He and his co-investor met at Emory’s MBA program. Neither one of them was in a tech career, but both decided that’s where the action will be.

Ashish Mistry may not have a technology industry background, but he does have one amazing skill. He understands the value of volunteering to build a meaningful network. He also learned earlier in his career how to drive leads through digital marketing.

Using his network and lead-gen skills, he built one of Southeast's most successful angel investment portfolios.

Ashish is a friend, angel investor, family man, and community builder. His humility bleeds through in this interview as he shares his story on how he became successful.
