Building <div>At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. <br><br>After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development. <br><br>At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.<br><br>However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development. <br><br>At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting. <br><br>At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017. <br><br>My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. <br><br>It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more. <br><br>The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses. <br><br>With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. <br><br>During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation. <br><br>Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has done over $5m in sales as a bootstrapped company, something our entire team is proud of. <br><br>PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. <br><br>At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format). <br><br>In 2021, I started Angel Investment, and so far, I have invested in 34 startups; I mentor some of them to give back to the community. <br><br>In 2022, I rebuilt my previous failure, known as https://firstsales.io, which is doing $700k ARR as of October 2023. <br><br>If you are a small business, do check out PitchGround and save up to 95% on your software bills - https://pitchground.com/deals<br><br>If you are looking to resolve your sales issues then check out - https://firstsales.io<br><br>Got any questions or want to connect with me?
