Somrat Niyogi / Recall Capital

Somrat Niyogi is the Founder and General Partner of Recall Capital, a $14M Fund I now building a $25M Fund II, writing $350-900K checks into AI-native B2B companies.

Before Recall, Somrat joined Salesforce as an early employee. He went on to build two venture-backed companies, and spent years as an early operator at Clari and Gusto. His network runs deep because he was there early, at most of the companies that matter in San Francisco.

He and his wife Sarah, first general counsel at Plaid, six years at Scale, started angel investing together out of their own network. Recall was the natural next step.

Somrat runs buyer dinners for his founders, fills the room himself, and does sales coaching the way a hired coach would. He'll also tell you he was one of the worst CEOs during his first company. Decades of operating and building, and he still hasn't found the ceiling. You get the sense that clarity about what didn't work is what makes him sharp about what Recall is supposed to do and the resilient founders they back.
