Working alongside founders to build enterprise partnerships, products, and the operations behind them.
I’ve spent the last 15 years building startups, products, and partnerships. Studio Anand brings those pieces together for early-stage teams.
I work with founders on product and customer experience, how to get those first partners to say yes, and how to turn early wins into a repeatable growth strategy.
I also bring the perspective of building two venture-backed companies, going through four accelerators, working with Fortune 500 companies, and learning from both the wins and the many failures.
The founder journey
I’ve been a solo founder twice. I often wished I had someone to think things through with, whether navigating a fundraise, building team culture, or figuring out how to lead honestly when I didn’t have the answers. That’s what I hope to offer other founders. A co-founder-level colleague to talk openly with, work through everyday decisions, and help get things done.
Concept through launch
I obsess over customer discovery and the user experience. I help teams understand what customers need, design key workflows, and decide where AI can make the product more useful. I work through the details with engineering so they have clear direction for the build. I also develop the go-to-market playbooks for reaching and winning the first partners.
Both sides of the table
I’ve built partnerships and been the partner, so I understand the responsibilities on both sides. That includes work with Amazon, Starbucks, and high-growth tech companies. I help teams design partnerships, implement the product, and establish customer success and feedback processes. The goal is to get customers paying, deliver with exceptional hospitality, and repeat until the data shows a pattern of success.
