About

I'm a founder-operator with 3+ years of 0→1 execution across fintech, AI, and SaaS, currently pursuing my PGP in Startup Leadership at Mesa (Class of '26).Before B-school, I helped scale a fintech startup by increasing 5x AUM & as part of the Founder's Office, owning GTM, Product Development, and execution. I've also co-founded two startups: SocialTix Solutions (AI & tech agency delivering 25+ products for startups) and Bunchup (meetup app that secured pre-seed funding and built early traction with zero-budget growth).What I bring:Cross-functional ownership – I've led product (MVP development), hiring (built teams from scratch), sales (closed deals, drove outreach), growth (community-led, data-driven), and stakeholder management (aligning founders, investors, and internal teams)AI & automation expertise – Deep hands-on experience building AI workflows, automations (n8n, Claude, Gemini), and tech solutions that drive efficiency and scale for startupsFounder empathy + structured execution – I've been both the founder and the operator, so I know how to move fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and execute in chaosTechnical depth – Background in Cybersecurity Engineering; I can work closely with tech/product teams without hand-holdingBefore Mesa, I led the Entrepreneurship Cell at Thakur College as Chairperson, where I worked closely with 10+ early-stage founders, running pitch sessions, connecting them with mentors and investors, and helping them navigate product-market fit and early GTM. I learned how to be the operator behind the founder: structuring messy problems, prioritizing execution, and moving fast.I'm now looking for Founder's Office / EIR / Business Generalist roles with early-stage founders building in fintech, AI, SaaS, or consumer, where I can combine structured thinking + scrappy execution + AI/automation to help scale the business.Contact me on: ayush_lahoti@pg26.mesaschool.co
