Surprised by the unusual text on a dating app, Gupta replied, "Haha, what?” The person on the other side said that she should hear his proposal and went on to explain further. “You add a line plugging my fund and telling founders to reach out to me if they're raising. If I end up investing in any of them, I'll give you a percentage of the carry of those companies,” he wrote.

In response, Gupta laughed and sent "hahaha,” to which the man replied, “I’m kind of serious, haha, lol.”
