Soma was on linkedin with me but did not get to meet him. I am deeply saddened at his sudden demise. If people shed tears when you pass away because you touched someone’s life is the best way to leave for heavenly abode. I send prayers to his wife and kids ,sending strength and hugs hoping they will remain strong through this turbulent time in their life. Sadgati. Om Shanti.

I didn’t know Soma Somasegar personally, but after reading about his life and the impact he left behind, I feel deeply inspired. He didn’t just move from tech to venture capital — he carried over the same core principles: deep technical judgment, a long-term mindset, and a commitment to helping founders build. It’s a reminder that real impact often grows when experience becomes service.

Mnetors are very rare and folks who give their time without and ask and stand by you and support the folks when they are trying to find their way are more impactful than dollars and sense. Looks like he was one of those mentors.
