The Saas Hubex-Tata Interactive Systemsex-Inventive Infotech/SMi

15+ years in SaaS and sales taught me one thing: building a great product is not enough. I’ve worked with companies like Whatfix, Tata Interactive, Richpanel, and 70+ Shopify apps in the past few years.

The pattern is always the same: Founders pour everything into the product But growth stalls because distribution, funnels, and trust are broken That’s where I come in. I help early-stage SaaS founders ($5k–$100k MRR) turn messy, founder-led sales into scalable systems: ✅ GTM strategies that create clarity ✅ Funnels that convert interest into revenue ✅ Sales processes you can hand off, not hoard And now, I’m also building something new → The SaaS Hub. Shopify has 15,000+ apps. Merchants struggle to find the right ones. App founders struggle to stand out. The SaaS Hub fixes that by curating apps, driving visibility, and connecting them with 15,000+ merchants through partner communities. It’s free during beta — and growing fast. 👉 If you’re an early-stage SaaS founder stuck at $5k–$100k MRR, or a Shopify app founder looking for visibility, let’s connect. Update: Launched in to help small teams with their outreach efforts.
