Managing Partner at spectup
Raising capital is broken for most teams: investor lists are random, decks read like brochures, and leadership spends months in “fundraising mode” without leverage or real investor demand. Whether you’re a startup, a private company, a listed business or a fund, the outcome is the same: Weak terms, dragged‑out timelines and an uncomfortable dependence on luck and introductions. As Partner at spectup, a capital advisory firm with $120M+ raised across startups, private and public companies and funds, the focus is to fix exactly that. What I do: → Structure capital raises and private placements so the deal is clear, credible and easy to underwrite → Build institutional‑grade materials (pitch decks, memos, narratives) that stand up in IC rooms → Run targeted investor outreach using a tech‑enabled engine and an active capital network My background: → Operator side: worked inside a unicorn (N26) and with BMW’s startup / innovation programs, seeing how growth and corporate decision‑making actually work → Capital side: years of working directly on fundraising, investor materials and dealflow for companies and funds across multiple stages This mix means your story, numbers and “fundability” are pressure‑tested before you walk into high‑stakes investor conversations. I’m also the host of Deal Makers (& Fakers): → A podcast where founders, operators and fund managers unpack the real stories behind their raises → Deals that closed, deals that died, and the signals serious capital actually responds to right now

Founder and CEO at Akhada Consulting
Principal Advisor | Clarity for Founders & Execs at Growth Inflection Points | Global Teams • Strategic Leverage • High-Stakes Decisions I work with founders and executive teams when growth, complexity, or straight-up pressure has outpaced clarity. That's the moment when effort alone stops cutting it—the real bottleneck is decision quality, alignment, and execution that doesn't erode what made the company special. As a Principal Advisor, I step in to help leaders: Cut to the decision that actually matters — stripping away the noise so you see the leverage point clearly. Align structure, talent, incentives, and systems around it — including global teams when it amplifies strategy (not when it's just a cost play). Build execution that scales — without torching culture, margins, or momentum. My background: I've built and led global teams across India and the Philippines, designing outsourcing setups that serve long-term strategy instead of becoming operational drag. I've watched "cost savings" quietly kill velocity when leadership lost sight of priorities—lessons I bring to every engagement. Outsourcing isn't the goal. Strategic leverage is. The leaders (and media folks) I connect with aren't after generic advice or another vendor. They want unflinching judgment, ruthless alignment, and disciplined execution under real pressure—delivered with candor and zero fluff. If your story involves scaling pains, high-stakes decisions, global team dynamics, or turning complexity into momentum, I'm your source. Happy to provide quotes, insights, or go deeper on: - Decision-making at inflection points - Aligning incentives and structure for sustainable growth - Making global/outsourced teams a strategic asset (not a liability) - Preserving culture and margins while scaling fast Reach out anytime—let's get your piece stronger.
