    Hey fellow founders, let’s cut to the chase: raising your first check is hard. I know, because I’ve been there—multiple times. But here’s the thing: I’ve raised over $500,000 in funding and secured $1M+ in company perks for my startups, and now I’m here to help you get that first yes from investors. My journey includes successfully raising capital from 20+ angel investors, VC firms, and crowdfunding campaigns across three startups in India, Canada, and the USA. I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to position your startup to stand out in a crowded market. Right now, I’m the founder and CEO of Utobo, an all-in-one commerce platform that helps creators monetize their passions. But before Utobo, I built a software development company that created two successful products and 225+ custom applications, reaching 10 million users. That experience taught me how to craft a compelling story, identify the right investors, and close deals—skills I now bring to every founder I work with. My focus? Helping you raise your first check. Whether it’s: - Crafting a pitch that gets investors leaning in. - Identifying the right angels or micro-VCs who align with your vision. - Building a narrative that turns your idea into a must-invest opportunity. - Navigating the emotional highs and lows of fundraising without losing momentum. I’ve been through it all, and I’m here to help you avoid the pitfalls and fast-track your success. Because that first check isn’t just about money—it’s about validation, momentum, and the fuel to bring your vision to life. Let’s get you funded. Let’s connect and make it happen.
