A fractional studio building at the intersection of product, design, and enterprise partnerships.
After spending the last fifteen years building startups, I launched Studio Anand to work alongside founders during the earliest stages of company building.
The founder journey
I’ve spent the last fifteen years building startups. I’ve founded three companies, been an early hire at four others, and gone through four accelerators, including Techstars (Denver ‘25). Along the way, I’ve been part of three venture-backed funding rounds, launched more than ten products, built teams across four countries, and worked alongside Fortune 500 companies.
That experience shapes how I work with founders today. I can help think through strategy, get back on the ground floor to build, or move between both as the company grows.
Both sides of the table
I’ve spent much of my career building enterprise partnerships from the ground up. I’ve led customer discovery, designed partnership and pilot programs, negotiated partnership terms, navigated procurement, coordinated implementation, and helped grow long-term enterprise relationships.
That work has included organizations like Amazon, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and high-growth technology companies.
Concept to live
I’ve helped build products across AI, enterprise software, healthcare, marketplaces, mobile, and connected hardware. Along the way, I’ve launched an AI voice platform for a $40M logistics company, built Mursion’s first enterprise scheduling and LMS platform that helped support a Series B raise, and designed a multi-tenant mental health platform serving pharma and hospitality organizations.
More recently, I’ve been focused on AI workflows, voice agents, and practical automation for early-stage teams.
Musical chairs
I’ve had the opportunity to build companies as a founder, a founding team member, an early hire, and an advisor. Seeing the business from those different perspectives is one of the most valuable experiences I’ve had.
I build differently today than I did fifteen years ago. I’ve experienced the excitement of something finding real momentum, and I’ve watched promising companies slowly lose it. Both leave a mark. They change how you make decisions, where you spend your time, and what you choose to build. I enjoy being a thought partner to founders, but I’m just as comfortable getting back on the ground floor and building alongside the team.
