Ruchi Sanghvi #59 Founder and partner, South Park Commons Ruchi Sanghvi, an early engineer at Facebook, is the founder of South Park Commons, which refers to itself as the “anti-incubator.” Her goal is to help founders build and validate their ideas, without the strict fundraising timelines or large startup cohorts of a typical accelerator. In the past six years a dozen unicorn startups have graduated from the program, including Alchemy, a blockchain-infrastructure startup that about tripled its valuation to $10.2 billion in February. The key to her success, Sanghvi said, was helping people at the very beginning of their journeys find “founder-market fit,” while “the rest of venture focuses on getting to product-market fit.” Source: businessInsider
