Work With Me
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.
-
Most founders skip discovery and go straight to building. Investors can tell. I'll help you validate your business idea before you ever pitch it so you walk into that room with real data and real conviction — not assumptions. This is the work that separates fundable founders from everyone else.

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.
By the end you won't just have a validated idea — you'll have a story that investors believe.
-
Your deck is often the first impression an investor gets before they ever meet you. I'll review it the same way I would as an investor — slide by slide, with no filter. You'll know exactly what's landing, what's losing the room, and what to fix before your next send.
Price: $250/hourHow It Works: Send me your deck and within 5 business days you'll receive full written feedback plus a Loom video walkthrough so you can hear my investor reaction in real time. Think of it as sitting across from an investor before you actually have to.
Most founders who start with a deck review book a pitch coaching session immediately after the deck has been finalized.
-
You don't need a prettier deck. You need to think like the investor sitting across from you — and pitch accordingly. As an investor who has reviewed hundreds of decks and sat through countless pitches, I'll show you exactly what we're looking for before you ever step foot in that room.
Price: $250/hourHow 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.
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.
