Hi, I'm Darpan

I help startups build great products and teams. 2x Entrepreneur. I have previously built an AI-based LegalTech product before it was cool. The second stint was to make Amazon for all things software buying and selling. If you want to learn about how to build a startup with limited resource, how to build winning teams, and most importantly: how to identify those winners. (No kidding, I have taken 2000+ interviews in my life, so I know what I am talking about)

My Journey

My entrepreneurial journey spans across multiple ventures and collaborations with industry leaders. I've founded two startups - one venture-backed and another bootstrapped - each teaching me invaluable lessons about building and scaling technology companies. My experience working with two Unicorns has given me deep insights into scaling operations and managing high-performing teams.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of helping numerous startups build their technology products from the ground up. This hands-on experience has taught me the intricacies of product development, team building, and scaling operations. I combine this practical knowledge with strategic thinking to help startups navigate their growth journey effectively.
