Hello! My name is Abrar.

I’ve been fortunate to have big company and startup experience, technology and business exposure, all of which across a dozen countries around the world alongside some really talented, interesting individuals along the way.  

I'm currently a travel focused venture capitalist for the past 12 years; my partners and I have invested in 7 companies around the world ranging from 500k USD to 50M USD+.

Prior to this I ran a 50 person boutique online travel agency for 9 years, was interim CTO for a 20 person travel technology company; which is where I first started in the travel industry, and a Senior Software Developer for Aramark, a Fortune 150 company.
