TripleDart and Mailmodo Hosted 70+ Founders in SF to Rethink How SaaS Marketing Really Works
70+ growth-stage founders. One stunning SF skyline. And a room full of conviction, curiosity, and candid conversations. Aquibur Rahman - thank you so much for having me.

Today’s event hosted by TripleDart and Mailmodo was one of those rare evenings where the energy matched the insight.

🔥 The fireside chat with Raj Sabhlok was a standout. Huge shoutout to Aquibur Rahman for masterfully moderating it and guiding the conversation into spaces most panels don’t reach.

💡 Learning Highlights:
1. Your first 10 customers aren’t just logos — they’re your feedback loop, positioning test, and product advisors.
2. Build an internal VC mindset — Think like your own investor and allocate time, capital, and conviction back in the product.
3. Founder-led GTM isn’t optional — in early-stage SaaS, the founder is the message. And when done right, it’s your most unfair advantage.

TripleDart – Modern Marketing, Engineered for SaaS

Shiyam Sunder and the TripleDart team are rewriting what B2B SaaS marketing looks like — from search to story, from clicks to credibility.

They’re not just running ads. They’re helping companies:
• Earn high-quality backlinks that compound SEO outcomes
• Get listed in tools like ChatGPT and other LLM interfaces for discoverability
• Rethink their entire marketing architecture, from funnel to feedback loop

Marketing is evolving from campaigns to ecosystems — and TripleDart is leading that shift.

Mailmodo – Where Emails Aren’t Just Read, They’re Used

Built by Aquibur Rahman and team, Mailmodo brings interactivity into the inbox. Their app-like email experiences are changing how brands onboard, engage, and convert — with 3× higher impact on average.

They’ve made email exciting again — and more importantly, effective.

These are the kinds of rooms that remind you:
No one has it all figured out. But the best founders? They show up, stay curious, and share what they’re learning in real time.

Big thanks to Shiyam Sunder Aquibur Rahman and the incredible folks at TripleDart and Mailmodo for creating this space. Truly energizing to be in a room full of ambitious, driven and builder-minded founders all under one roof.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
