Gopi Selveswaran

Born in Sri Lanka at the peak of a civil war, my family migrated to South India when I was just a toddler where I spent the best part of my childhood years.

At the age of 20, I moved to the UK to pursue my masters degree in Finance from Lancaster University and entered the world of private equity in London with an internship that converted into a job at Aureos Capital, an emerging market focused PE firm investing across Asia, Africa and Latin America where I was part of the CIO office. A few years later, I joined Bridgepoint, a leading European PE firm where I was a core member of the Fundraising and Investor Relations team as well as working on several strategic projects for the group.

After spending over eight years in Private Equity, my fascination for innovative technologies that were changing the way we live and work made me make the jump into the venture capital industry. I joined Balderton Capital as Director of Investor Relations and helped them raise a number of funds. Subsequently, I advised Anthemis Group and Jigsaw VC with their fundraising efforts and also helped a few startups raise capital along the way.

I am inspired by the ambition of the early stage founders and feel privileged to work alongside the talented team at Notion to create value for all our stakeholders. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the natural world and am always up for an adventure.
