I have actually done what most startup consultants only talk about: built a company from zero, scaled it for 9 years, and successfully exited.
I founded Harba, a 360ยฐ marina SaaS platform, and grew it for nearly a decade before selling it to Bifrost in 2024. I also co-founded Heads - Concussion Care, a digital health platform where I am still active. Over the last 10 years, I have raised more than $6M, closed 14 funding rounds, and won 4 pitch competitions.
Now I help founders:
- Validate ideas with real market data
- Build AI-powered MVPs fast using no-code and modern tools
- Create pitch decks that actually get investor meetings
- Develop go-to-market strategies that drive early traction
- Provide fractional product management from idea to launch
I don't just advise, I execute. I personally design in Figma, prototype with no-code and AI, and build using Cursor and Claude Code. That means your idea can become a working prototype in weeks instead of months.
Track record:
- $6M+ raised across 14 funding rounds
- 7 soft-funding grants secured
- 4 pitch competitions won
- 9-year journey from zero to successful exit
- Led product teams from idea to MVP to scale to exit
What makes me different:
- Real founder with a proven exit, not just a consultant
- Hands-on execution. I build the MVPs, prototypes, and pitch decks myself
- Fast delivery through AI and modern development tools
- Experience on both sides: raising money as a founder and helping other founders raise
Tools I use: Figma and Canva for design, AI-powered no-code platforms for rapid prototyping, Cursor and Claude Code for development. I adapt to your preferred stack (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, or others).
If you want help from someone who has actually built, scaled, and exited a startup, let's work together.

"One of the most grounding and clarifying experiences Iโve had as a founder".
โA safe space of creativity.โ
โA real talent for making complex topics accessible and easy to understand.โ
โโโโโ
Hello! I'm Aradhita. I am a strategist and creative partner.
โ I partner with startup founders, entrepreneurs and innovators on brand strategy, messaging and identity development. I help them position offerings, articulate value propositions, and build communication assets they can go to market with.
โ I collaborate with enterprise leaders and distributed teams on marketing planning and content writing. I work closely with department heads and business leaders to conceptualize and plan campaigns, and collaborate with marketing teams, designers, subject matter experts and sales teams to execute them.
I use multiple lenses from my 18 years in marketing, communications, branding, consulting, business development, and systems engineering - to uncover blind spots, navigate complex challenges and spotlight focus areas for intentional growth.
โ My in-house corporate experience is with global marketing agencies, boutique consulting firms and industry-leading systems integrators, through which I have led and delivered projects for clients in government, banking & finance, IT, oil & gas, retail, F&B, healthcare. Iโve built departments from the ground up, hired and trained team members, cultivated client relationships and grown accounts.
โ As an independent consultant, Iโve channeled all of that experience to support tech enterprises, consulting firms and communications agencies on marketing & content to support projects in economic development, telecom, cybersecurity, hospitality, automation technology, AI development โ and to co-create brand identities and journeys for passionate founders in mental health, operations consulting, agtech, science fiction, sportswear and more.
