1:1 Coaching
Wherever you are in your startup journey, there's a next right move.
I've spent 20+ years building products, including co-founding MobiKwik. I've coached founders validating a first idea, founders writing their first business plan, founders launching, and founders scaling past their early users. Work with me 1:1, and we start with the problem you actually have right now, not a fixed curriculum.
Where are you right now?
"I know there's something here. But every time I try to figure out the first step, I spiral into research, second-guessing, and eventually nothing moves."
"I think there's no real competition, or I'm honestly not sure who I'm up against. I worry someone bigger could just copy this tomorrow."
"I've been at this for months. I'm working hard but I'm not sure I'm working on the right things. It feels like running on a treadmill."
"I already built something, myself or with a developer, and it's just not working the way I imagined. I don't know if I should fix it or start over."
"I don't have a cofounder or a team. Every decision lands on me. I'm also not sure how to find the right cofounder, or how to split roles and equity with the one I have."
"I want to raise money, or get into an incubator, but I'm not sure how to explain my idea clearly, or what investors and incubators will actually ask me."
"Someone, an investor, a bank, an incubator, asked me for a business plan. Or I already wrote one myself, with a template, or with AI, and I'm not sure it's actually good enough to send anywhere."
"I don't know how to size this market in a way that actually means anything, and I don't really understand how this makes money, per customer."
Here's what it looks like once this is sorted
For each situation above, here's what changes day to day, and what it means for the bigger picture.
Is my idea actually worth pursuing?
Day to day: Your to-do list stops being "more research" and becomes one concrete next action you actually do.
Bigger picture: You avoid building for an audience that was never going to pay, before you've spent anything on it.
Do I understand who else is solving this problem?
Day to day: You can explain, in one line, who else solves this and why you're different.
Bigger picture: You stop discovering a competitor by accident, and start knowing exactly where your gap is.
Already building, or already built
Day to day: You work off one prioritized plan instead of switching between five half-finished directions.
Bigger picture: Your existing effort finally compounds toward one outcome instead of scattering.
What to build, and how
Day to day: You know precisely what to fix, rebuild, or cut, so your next conversation with a developer has a spec instead of a vague complaint.
Bigger picture: You stop paying for the same mistake twice.
Finding or aligning with a cofounder
Day to day: You have someone to pressure-test a decision with before you commit to it, not after.
Bigger picture: If cofounder fit is part of your situation, you also get clarity on what to look for, or how to align with the one you've got.
Pitch and investor readiness
Day to day: You can walk into an investor or incubator conversation with answers ready, instead of hoping they don't ask the hard question.
Bigger picture: You raise on evidence and a plan that survives real questions.
Building or auditing a business plan
Day to day: You stop dreading the question "can I see your business plan," because you have one you actually understand, not one someone else wrote for you.
Bigger picture: The plan becomes your own decision-making reference for pricing and hiring, not just a document for outsiders.
Market sizing and business model
Day to day: You can answer "how big is this market" and "how does this make money per customer" without inflating either one.
Bigger picture: Your numbers hold up under one follow-up question instead of falling apart.
Further down the road
Launch and Go to Market
It's built. How do I get it in front of people and price it right?
Growth and Operations
It's live. Why isn't it working the way I expected?
Scale
I've proven this works. Who helps me run it at the next level?
The structure is fixed.
The content is entirely yours.
Before we start, you get a free 30-min discovery call. I learn exactly where you are, what's blocking you, and what moving forward looks like for your specific idea. From that, I design the session arc around your situation. It isn't a curriculum you have to fit into.
Every session ends with one decision that was unclear at the start and is clear at the end. That's the standard I hold myself to.
Free discovery call
30 minutes. I understand your situation. You understand how I work. We decide together if it's the right fit.
Your arc is designed
I map a session plan based on your stage, your idea, and where you most need to move. No two engagements are the same.
We work through it
Each session surfaces the question you've been avoiding, confronts it directly, and ends with a clear decision.
You move toward launch
Lean, validated, clear. No wasted effort. No wasted money. Just the next right move, then the one after that.
Every session follows the same 3-move approach, regardless of where you are or what you're building.
Surface
Find the one question you're avoiding: not the one you came with, but the one underneath it.
Confront
Design the conditions so you arrive at the hard question yourself. No answers handed to you.
Converge
Leave every session with one decision that was unclear at the start and is clear at the end.
My job is not to give you the answer. My job is to make you unable to avoid the question.
Sunali Aggarwal

Session arc designed around your situation

Validated roadmap document

Competitive landscape analysis
A clear, honest look at who else is solving this problem today, so you know exactly where you fit and what makes you different.
WhatsApp access between sessions
For quick unblocking: thinking prompts, not answers. You stay in motion between sessions.
AI prompts and thinking tools
Curated for your stage. Think faster and clearer between sessions without waiting for the next call.
6 months free community access
The Start Strong founder community. Peers at the same stage, working through the same challenges.
Be honest with yourself
This engagement works when both of us show up fully. It doesn't work when one of us doesn't.
