My Story
For 12 years, I built software for other people's companies. Five of those at Asset Panda as Engineering Lead - shipping features, managing teams across continents, learning how enterprise tech actually works at scale.
But every founder I met had the same problem: brilliant AI products with no go-to-market. They were burning runway on features instead of finding customers. Great tech, zero traction.
In 2024, I stopped watching and started building. While still working full-time, I launched FoundersHub AI, then TradersHub Ninja, Prompt Pro, and PostWyse. Four startups in 16 months. All bootstrapped. Each one taught me what actually moves the needle for AI products - and it's not more features.
Today I'm the GTM expert for AI products. I help founders skip the mistakes I made and go straight to what works - positioning, launch strategy, and the shortest path from MVP to revenue.
I'm still an architect. I still write code every day. I just also know how to get AI products to market.

Cody Walraven
Software Engineer at Asset Panda
I worked with Girish for over 5 years at Asset Panda and every moment has been amazing. He is an extremely skilled developer in any stack that you toss at him. Moving from originally working with Ruby on Rails, to typescript, serverless lambdas, AWS resources, infrastructure work with CDK etc. He is an extremely quick learner and also loves to teach others. There have been many a time when I or another dev would get stuck on a problem and Girish was happy to help out and troubleshoot the problem together. He also led a team of offshore engineers and is an excellent teacher and mentor. Able to create clear and concise Jira tickets for them and tackle any of the tricky problems or blockers that come up along the way himself. He handles differences in time zones wonderfully and successfully managed a team spread around multiple continents. He is a kind and intelligent person that sets the bar for what a software developer should be. If everyone who developed software was like Girish the world would be a better place. With amazing software around every corner.
