I help founders
pitch, fund & scale.
Two decades in the startup trenches — 1,000+ pitches heard, 40+ companies backed, and a $3M early-stage fund. Now I sit on the TiE Global Board of Trustees and spend my days helping the next wave of founders get it right.
An operator who has been
on every side of the table.
Founder, investor, and mentor — I have built companies, written the checks, and coached the people doing both. The throughline is simple: clear thinking, honest feedback, and momentum for founders who are serious about building.
My TiE journey
A decade of building the entrepreneurial ecosystem with TiE — from Southern California to the global board, and back home to Patna.
Founders Pitch Fest
Four shortlisted startups. One room of active investors. Every alternate Thursday I host a live pitch session where founders get real feedback, real exposure, and — for the right teams — real conversations about capital.
4 startups per session
