For investors & portfolio companies

Know what you are buying.
Improve what you own.

I test the product, market, customers, technology and numbers before money goes in. After the deal, I work with the CEO and team to improve the product, operation and results.

Investment diligence

I test whether the investment story holds up.

I use the product, read the material, question the assumptions and follow weak evidence until I know what it means for the investment.

Product and customers

I use the product, inspect the roadmap and look for evidence that customers need it, buy it and keep using it.

Market and go-to-market

I test the market-size claim, positioning, pricing, sales route and whether the growth plan fits the product and budget.

Numbers

I look past headline revenue at margins, retention, customer acquisition, operating cost and what has to be true for the company to make money.

Team and technology

I speak to the people doing the work, inspect delivery risk and challenge technical or AI claims that do not hold up.

What you get

A direct view of what holds up, what does not and what still needs proving before you commit more money.

Operating partner

I get into the company and make the important changes happen.

  1. Find what needs fixing inside the company.

    I get access to the product, customers, numbers and day-to-day work, then follow the problem wherever it leads.

  2. Choose the work that matters.

    I turn what I find into a short list of decisions and changes tied to customers, time, cost, growth or profit.

  3. Work with the team to deliver it.

    I work directly with the CEO, product, design, development and operations. I can lead the work, build an MVP or fix the process.

  4. Check what improved.

    We compare the result with where the company started and keep what works. I only use AI when it improves the result.

Recommendations

People who worked with me trust me to lead the work.

From people I managed and worked alongside.

Rishi is honestly the best boss I've ever had. He is incredibly smart, funny, and understands how his team works best and adapts his management skills to work with them, not against them.
