AgroChain
Bangladesh · Co-Founder & CEO

Co-Founder & CEO

Built AgroChain from zero — an agritech venture tackling supply chain inefficiencies in Bangladesh's agricultural sector. As CEO, I owned four areas of responsibility simultaneously: fundraising, product, partnerships, and operations. Defined co-founder AoRs from day one to avoid overlap and move fast. Built a pipeline of 50 potential B2B customers while tracking product, team, and financials in parallel. Learned what no accelerator teaches — how to make irreversible decisions with incomplete information, keep a team motivated with no guarantees, and sell a vision to customers who've never heard of your category.

Pomegranate — Fundraising Platform

Most founders raise capital the wrong way — cold outreach, no sequencing, burning warm paths too early. Pomegranate fixes that. It maps your investor universe, sequences your outreach in waves to build momentum, and runs a structured 30-day war room so every meeting, follow-up, and term sheet moves on a tight timeline. Built solo from zero, shipped in days using Replit and AI — proof that the right tools collapse the gap between idea and product.
