I've operated, invested in, and advised startups that raised > $3B from VCs like Softbank Vision Fund and Founders Fund, went public on the NYSE and NASDAQ, and scaled to tens of millions in revenue.
Now, I help my clients accelerate revenue, secure capital, and find product-market fit — the trifecta driving exponential growth. Remember, 92% of businesses fail due to slow growth; let's ensure you're not part of that statistic.
With my Expert-Vetted (top 1%) and Top Rated Plus (top 3%) status on Upwork, 5-star ratings on Fiverr, Trustpilot, and Clutch, and > 5,000 followers on LinkedIn, I've established a strong reputation. My insights and success stories have been featured in outlets like Fast Company, Zapier, HubSpot, and beyond.

🔥 Common client challenges 🔥
92% of ventures crash and burn due to slow growth. The culprits? Weak go-to-market strategy, starved funding, and lousy product-market fit. I call these the triple threat to growth:
• Go-to-market strategy: When revenue plateaus because your organization can't keep pace, it's time to recalibrate your go-to-market playbook and infrastructure across the AAARRR funnel.
• Venture capital: Capital is the lifeblood of growth, yet a scant 1% of startups manage to secure it. Crafting an investor-ready case amid competing priorities is no small feat.
• Product-market fit: Traction stays flat without a product that clicks with customers. If progress feels like an uphill battle, it's time to adjust your product or pivot to a new market.
🚀 How I resolve your challenges 🚀

💪🏼 My background 💪🏼
Before founding Zendog Labs, I worked as a Principal at Roivant and was the Co-Founder of Eatearnity and Maison Baum.
Roivant is a principal investment firm that raised billions in funding, built a portfolio of > 35 startups, and went public on the NASDAQ. My key contributions at Roivant included taking Lokavant, our enterprise SaaS business, from $1 to $6M in ARR in < 2 years, enabling a $21M Series A led by Edison Partners, and spearheading Roivant's first acquisition of a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical asset.
Back at Eatearnity, I built a B2B2C marketplace that scaled to $1M in ARR, acquired tens of thousands of consumers, loyal B2B customers, and excited investors. And Maison Baum is still a thriving business under the leadership of my former co-founder.
I started my career in consulting and banking and am proud to have led ~40 PzGren as Deputy Platoon Leader in the Swiss Army, the special forces of our armored infantry. I hold degrees from some of the best US and European business schools (Duke, LSE, St. Gallen, Bogazici).
