#12 → Varadh Jain: Many-Sidedness

Varadh Jain is an angel investor and digital nomad currently doing one-off projects in different parts of the world.

Most recently, he spent three years as an early employee at Opendoor, helping to scale the company from 200 employees to nearly 1,500. Before that, he was on the founding team of Polymail (YC S16) and spent time at a seed fund in Los Angeles.
