Summary
Ben Rathi is an investor and operator with 11 years of experience at the intersection of product, robotics, and growth-stage capital, currently investing at WndrCo while co-founding Rendered VC to back 3D graphics, gaming, and AI startups. He combines hands-on product chops from roles at Nuro (where he filed multiple provisional patents and launched COVID-era deployments) and Modern Treasury with rigorous strategy and diligence skills honed at McKinsey and Sorenson Capital.

He’s driven by accelerating technological progress and has a habit of turning “failed” experiments into learning that informs smarter, higher-conviction investing.
