DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2022 / In a 2020 interview with Fox40, Anip Patel, CEO and founder of CaPatel Investments, discussed his passion in life: giving back to minorities, supporting the global community, and making a difference. "The word success to me," said Patel, "is doing something that makes you happy which will impact people's lives forever."

This was before he'd even founded CaPatel Investments, an early-stage investment firm focused on investing predominantly in companies that promote South Asian values. His company, founded in 2022, is creating a fund for South Asian entrepreneurs. As Patel says, "Many South Asian start-ups lack access to funding." He goes on to point out that minority CEOs often find themselves facing discrimination, which negatively affects their businesses.

Serial Entrepreneurship

Having graduated from DePaul University with a triple major in finance, economics, and marketing, Patel has an obvious passion for business. He started his first business, a South Asian wedding rental company, freshman year in college. Post-college, he started one of the first South Asian talent management companies. Patel then began to explore other business opportunities while working as a strategy consultant in some of the largest companies in the world. He then began to delve into tech, healthcare, and entertainment. His breadth of knowledge ranges from a myriad of industries, making him an ideal angel investor. Patel's marketing expertise, analytical skills, and keen eye for success have placed him on many advisory boards.

CaPatel Investments provides more than funding, as the company believes that young companies can benefit greatly from guidance as they grow. CaPatel Investment's team supports companies with marketing, strategy, sales, and financial guidance. Their marketing network spans across the United States and internationally, allowing them to connect business owners to reliable resources while bringing business to start-up companies.

A Passion for South Asian Culture

Patel is proud of his roots.

"I tried so hard to find investors," he recalls. "I knocked on so many doors."

Now since he's grown his own company, he wants to give back to those who are facing the same situation that he dealt with years ago. His current focus is the fund he is creating for investments for South Asian founders.

Patel points out that historically, minorities have experienced significantly more challenges than their majority counterparts in acquiring funding via venture capital. He feels that now is the time to change the narrative.
