The Founders
Venture Crush was created by founders who’ve lived the chaos of early-stage startups and wanted to make it smarter, faster, and more human.
Between them, Harry and Sumit have launched ventures across London, Dubai, and Delhi - leading teams that blend product, design, and AI into real-world impact. They share a belief that great startups aren’t built through luck or LinkedIn connections, but through genuine chemistry between people who think, build, and dream alike.
Venture Crush is their answer to that - a platform born from experience, built for the next generation of founders and techies who want to build with purpose.
Harry Geisler
Co-Founder
Harry Geisler is a serial founder who builds with conviction and skates fast into complexity. Based in London, he’s spent the past decade launching tech ventures and connecting ideas to action. Now he and the team are building Venture Crush - a platform that matches founders and tech talent through shared hobbies, values, and the stuff that actually matters.
Sumit Dubey
Co-Founder
Sumit Dubey is a problem-solver at heart - equal parts strategist and builder. With a background spanning AI, operations, and venture development across India and the Middle East, he’s the steady engine behind Venture Crush’s global rollout. Sumit brings structure to chaos, turning early-stage ideas into scalable systems and making sure every big vision actually lands.
Our Vision. Our Mission. Our Legacy.

Definition of Techie(s)
/ˈtɛki/
noun
INFORMAL
1. a specialist software developer on Venture Crush
2. a person who is expert in or enthusiastic about technology, especially helping to turn a startup idea into reality.
We can’t promise you love - and this isn’t a dating app.
But we did design the platform like one.
That was deliberate. Dating apps are the world’s most successful connection platforms - built to match people with precision. Their algorithms focus on chemistry, compatibility, and outcomes.
So when we set out to build Venture Crush, we borrowed the same logic. Not only will you recognise how it works - you’ll also recognise how it feels when a match just clicks.
Precision Matching
It uses weighted compatibility scores, just like dating apps do, to pair people based on shared traits.
The goal isn’t romance - it’s chemistry between founders and techies.
Cultural Fit at Scale
It matches users by values, passions, and hobbies - not just skills.
Like dating apps, it builds connections that feel right, not just work on paper.
Adaptive Intelligence (Continuous Learning Feedback Loop)
It learns from real feedback to refine future matches.
The algorithm evolves over time - just like dating platforms learning user preferences.
