We raised $9M.
How we'll hit $5M ARR in 260 days:
Last month we booked 620 demos.
Here's the plan from here:
1. 1,000 demos/month by March
We're on track to hit demos, but we’re hiring AEs right now to close the volume. @__rahulchauhan and @swapnilsinha07 are doing an incredible job leading the charge with their teams.
2. Double the customer base every month
300+ customers today. 800+ on the waitlist. Our constraint right now is how fast we can onboard.
Tushar, Snehith & their teams working round the clock to make it happen.
3. Ship product faster
Large portion of $9M goes straight into engineering and model improvement.
Our product already gets the average client 10 leads/mo by month 4. We want this to be higher and faster. @_Adithya_V , Snehith, @awwdarsh, Amey and team doing an incredible job here.
4. $1M new ARR added per month by March
We hit $1M ARR in 90 days from launch. The math from here: rapid GTM experiments (want to hit 30 experiments/month by April), engineering inbound lead flow, better messaging, more AEs, faster onboarding, expansion of successful accounts, tight control on churn - disciplined cash management being led by @AkashShaw29 and team.
There's also so many other things to build & sell:
- AI paid marketing agents
- AI voice agent to prevent lead drop-off & qualify them
- Capturing anonymous visitors & partial form fills
- Supporting different types of call-to-actions on our pages
But that's for next month!
In India, fundraising is hard.
For @ReferRush I spent months building a list of 5,000 verified Indian investors of angels, VCs, and funds — with names, emails, and contacts.
It took us weeks to create and I’m giving it away for free!
Comment “investor list”, like, and repost and I’ll DM you the link.

My goal is now to do 28 pre-seed investments of 1.5 Cr by end of year
Will deploy about 45 Cr in Indian startups
4 months ago I was at 12 investments, now at 21
Due to a larger fund, the target is now 28 from 25

Vikram, Rajat, Aakash & I had a fun afternoon at YC’s office - bumped into a few of the current S25 batch founders, our portfolio companies & folks we’ve interacted with in the past.
For Vikram & Rajat - it was fun to be back to YC - they had led a Seed investment into Razorpay (YC W15)
PS: I’ll be at the Alumni Demo Day as well and our team will be at the main Demo Day too. In case you’re wondering - I’m not a chief guest - the welcome board is linked to the security camera at the entrance which is equipped with facial recognition software.
Thank you Garry, Jared, Gustaf & the YC team for making this visit possible at a short notice - the YC spirit is still strong 💪
The workflow I wish I had when I started building MVPs
I use this to plan, design, build, and ship full MVPs in 2-3 weeks.
After 18 builds, here’s the exact system that works.
