Your Hermana/Baji in VC

The coaching, strategy, and founder support you never got a roadmap for.

I've been on the investor side of the table for 5+ years. I know what makes an investor lean in — and what makes them check their phone. Now I'm here to make sure you walk into that room prepared.

  • Got a quick question about your career, breaking into VC, or your journey as a founder? This is a focused 15-minute call-- one question, one direction. If you need deeper strategy, we'll talk about the right next step from here. No prep needed. Just come ready to tell me what you're navigating.

  • You’re building something real and you need an investor’s lens on it — not a checklist, not a template. This is an open-ended strategic session for founders who want an honest, direct perspective on where they are and what’s actually next.

    We can go wherever you need: fundraise readiness, how investors are reading your space right now, your narrative and positioning, community as a growth lever, or what’s blocking you from your next milestone. You bring the questions, I bring the VC operator lens.

    Best for early stage founders who are actively building and want a thought partner, not just a coach.

  • Before you pitch, you need to know your customer better than anyone in that room. This session is for founders who want to pressure-test their assumptions, sharpen their ICP, and make sure the problem they’re solving is the problem people actually have.

    We’ll dig into your research, your interviews, your insights — and figure out what’s signal and what’s noise. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of who you’re building for and why that matters to investors.

    Best for early stage founders who are still validating or want to stress-test their customer insights before fundraising..

    Price: $250 per hour

    How It Works: Customer discovery is not a one-session process and anyone who tells you otherwise is setting you up to fail. We typically work together over 3 to 4 sessions, starting with identifying your target customer, then designing and running real discovery interviews, then analyzing what you learn, and finally translating those insights into investor-ready language.

  • Everything in the Deck Review, plus a 30-minute Zoom call to walk through the feedback together. We’ll go slide by slide, answer your questions, and leave knowing exactly what to fix and why.

    Submit your deck, receive your written review within 5 business days, then we’ll book your debrief call.

    Best for founders who want to talk through the feedback and leave with a clear action plan.

    Price: $300/hour

    How It Works: Send me your deck and within 5 business days you'll receive full written feedback. This also includes a 30 minute session to give you feedback and context in real time. Think of it as sitting across from an investor before you actually have to.

  • Knowing your business and being able to pitch it are two completely different skills. This session is for founders who are actively preparing to fundraise and want to practice, refine, and get sharp before they’re in front of investors.

    We’ll work through your pitch live — your opening, your story, how you handle objections, and how you close. I’ll push back the way investors do so you’re ready for the real thing.

    Best for founders who have investor meetings coming up and want to walk in prepared, not just practiced.

    Price: $250/hour

    How It Works: Most founders need 3-4 sessions to get truly pitch-ready. We start by rebuilding your narrative, then run a full mock pitch with real investor feedback, then refine until you can walk into any room with confidence.

    Every session includes follow-up notes and action items so you're never left wondering what to do next.

  • You’re trying to break into VC, land the right role, or figure out your next move and you need someone who’s actually been in the room to help you think it through. This call is for students and early-career professionals who want a real, honest conversation about navigating this industry as someone who didn’t come through the traditional pipeline.

    We can cover: your career path, how to position yourself, what investors and firms actually look for, or how to build your network from scratch. No fluff, just real talk from someone who’s been exactly where you are.

    Best for students, recent grads, and early-career professionals exploring or breaking into VC and finance.

From the Stage

Real talk on venture capital, identity, and building what wasn't built for us.

I don't just work inside these rooms — I talk about what happens in them. For over ten years I've spoken at universities, accelerators, companies, and conferences bringing a perspective you won't find anywhere else. Pakistani. Mexican. Muslim. Investor. Community builder. First-gen. I speak from lived experience, not talking points.

The Three Areas I'm Most Sought After For:

  • The room wasn't built for us — but we're in it anyway. I speak on how diverse founders can access venture capital, what investors are actually looking for, how to pitch with confidence, and what the fundraising process really looks like from the inside. This is the talk that founders say they wish they'd heard three years earlier.

  • Being at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities used to feel like a liability in professional spaces. I'm proof it's the opposite. I speak on navigating workplaces as a Muslim woman, bringing your full identity into rooms that weren't designed for you, and why your lived experience isn't a limitation — it's your investment thesis.

  • I built Muslim Women Professionals from zero to 36,000+ followers across 100 countries without a single paid ad. I speak on what it actually takes to build a community with staying power — the strategy, the failures, the infrastructure, and why community is never the soft work. It is the work.
