Investor perspective
"Thrillz is operating in a market that is exploding and the traction the team has achieved in a short period of time is incredible. When I started WatchMojo fifteen years ago, entrepreneurs were a rare breed; today so many young professionals want to pursue this path… and Anjan stood out as a remarkably bright, driven and capable young individual so I felt compelled to be a part of the journey and share lessons in our successes and failures to help Thrillz become an influential global brand."
