Topmate

Why we picked it India-founded (Bengaluru) and thick with Indian operators who solved your exact problem recently: growth leads, founder-led sales builders, and hiring/HR heads at companies one stage ahead. You search by topic and book a paid 30 to 60 minute call, so you get 'the person who built a repeatable sales motion 18 months ago' without needing a warm intro or handing over equity for a single question.

Topmate: book 1:1 time with operators and functional experts

From Topmate by Ankit Agarwal and Dinesh Singh tool

• Search by the specific function (sales, hiring, pricing, growth) and filter to operators currently doing that job, not retired executives
• A paid one-off call sidesteps the intro problem: you buy a specific person's specific experience for one specific question
• Use it to test-drive a potential advisor cheaply before proposing any longer, equity-based relationship
