Sahil Meena

Founder and CEO, Capvise Group

I build the rooms where builders meet capital.

I founded Capvise Group in 2025, a group of eight ventures across capital, technology, media and communities. Our first four founder and investor rooms drew 6,400+ applications in four countries.

01 · About

Builder first. Then rooms.

I came to this as a builder. I’ve shipped full-stack products, and since 2023 I’ve worked hands-on with open-source AI image and video models.

In January 2025 I founded Capvise Group. Its first venture, Capvise Global, brings founders and investors into the same room during the biggest conference weeks: Coinfest Asia in Bali, TOKEN2049 in Singapore, Blockchain Life in Dubai and Devconnect in Buenos Aires.

Around it, the group now spans event production, media, marketing, creators, communities and AI experimentation.

The green dots are the seats across all four rooms. The grey ones are everyone else who applied.

Four rooms, four countries, four months.

Each one ran alongside a major conference week in its city, and people applied to get in.

Cwtch

I wanted to watch movies with my girlfriend in perfect sync, so I built it. A Chrome extension that keeps play, pause and seek in step on Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube, with encrypted room messages through a small relay.

OmniSweep

Most wallets are full of token dust you can’t move because you hold no gas. A relayer fronts the gas, gets repaid from the swap, then bridges the rest across chains.
