Four years solving what startups needed. Now I find who's worth backing.

Tirth Shah

I've spent the last few years at early-stage startups doing whatever the company needed most, sales, product, building things from scratch with no prior experience. I've closed enterprise deals, shipped real products, and solved problems with no clear owner. Now I want to point that same instinct at people, finding founders worth backing before anyone else notices.

Product × Engineering

Designed the intelligence core of an AI sales platform

Built a 5-layer, 19-flag scoring framework at Plootus that turns raw call data into a single prospect intent signal. The framework came from my own sales instincts, stress-tested against 35,000–40,000 real outbound calls. Wrote the PRDs. Engineers built from them.

Sales × Strategy

$350K in enterprise deals. No sales experience when I started.

Closed Swiggy, Flipkart, Housing.com, and Jubilant Foodworks on SaaS products ranging from $15K to $200K. Ran the Flipkart deal end-to-end. Built the outbound system that doubled weekly discovery calls, scaling Plootus from $0 to $50K MRR.

Builder mentality

Three live products. One built with no prior coding experience.

PadelGuide earns affiliate revenue and gets cited by ChatGPT and Claude. The GEO Analysis Tool scores content for AI-citation readiness and has made real money. Mahjo is a multiplayer mahjong PWA I vibe-coded from scratch, now at 3,000 monthly active users.
