Wait a second. Reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19540773 Does that mean they excluded you based just on name before figuring out where you are based? That would be more like "They don't invest in people from India" and I think it'd be good to red-flag them for that.

Christoph here from Point Nine.

No, we didn’t do that. I can confirm that with certainty even without having asked everyone on my team.

I’m trying to find out what was going on and will post more details ASAP.

Hey Christoph, here is a screencap of the email : https://screenshots.firefox.com/DCsDhXwfTXv0hsls/mail.google...

Sorry I don't want to come off as offensive and I didn't expect so much reaction to a simple denial. VCs have passed us on for far absurd reasons.

Hi Ganesh,

I would be interested in hearing the conclusion to this interaction. Do you have a point of contact where I could reach you at the end of this week?

Tom, that was the end of the email trail; I didn't hear back anything.

It's no big deal really. A miscommunication between their tag line and my expectation. My email is ganesh @ aihello.com

Hi Ganesh,

Thank you!

We’ll work on our website and email wording to try to avoid misunderstandings like this going forward.

Best

Christoph
