I like building things. Sometimes they turn into startups. Sometimes they become internal tools. Sometimes they fail spectacularly and consume an unreasonable amount of Claude credits. Most of them start with the same trigger: something feels unnecessarily complicated. Instead of writing a long rant about it, I try to build a system that makes it simpler. That approach has produced a few projects so far. You'll find them below.
About
Most of my work sits at the intersection of founders, capital, and automation.
Founders spend a surprising amount of time on things that have nothing to do with building their company: searching for funding, filling forms, juggling tools. So I build systems around those problems.
Startup911, GrantSnap, and EERA each solve a different part of the same workflow: discovery, applications, operations.
Projects
Most of the things below started as small experiments. Some grew into full platforms. Some are still evolving. A few exist purely because I refused to fill the same form twice.
Startup911
Startup911 is a discovery engine for startup funding opportunities.
Grants, fellowships, and investor programs exist all over the internet. The problem is that they are scattered and difficult to track.
Startup911 aggregates and organizes these opportunities so founders can discover relevant funding sources much faster.
Today the platform tracks:
- 100+ active grants
- 1000+ investors and funding programs
Alongside the platform we also run the Startup911 Opportunity Newsletter, which sends curated opportunities to founders.
As of 17 March 2026:
- 200+ subscribers
- Around 60 percent open rate
- Around 20 percent click rate
- Around 60 percent of readers are international
The goal is simple.
Help founders spend less time searching for opportunities and more time building.
Small note. If you have ever opened twenty browser tabs trying to find grants, you probably understand why this exists.
GrantSnap
GrantSnap is the execution layer built on top of Startup911.
Discovering opportunities is only half the battle.
The real friction begins during applications.
Most grants and accelerator forms ask very similar questions. Yet founders end up rewriting the same answers again and again.
GrantSnap helps automate that process.
Using structured founder data and AI, it generates and fills application responses directly inside funding forms.
The goal is to help founders apply up to 10 times faster while keeping their narrative consistent across applications.
Instead of rewriting answers for hours, founders can focus on improving the actual substance of their startup.
Fun fact.
GrantSnap mostly exists because I once rewrote the same grant answer fourteen times in a single week.
EERA
Built at Acharya Ventures
EERA is an AI powered Founder Operating System developed inside Acharya Ventures.
It connects multiple systems founders normally manage separately.
- Opportunity discovery
- Research tools
- Internal founder workflows
- Operational automation
The idea behind EERA is straightforward.
Early stage founders should not need large teams just to manage operational complexity.
With the right systems, many of these processes can run quietly in the background.
EERA was built to provide that operational backbone inside the venture studio.
Von Horizon
My first venture — a SaaS product for contactless dining menus in post-COVID India. Launched at 18, got 3 paying clients. Built with custom CMS and QR technology.
Why I Build
Startups are already difficult. What makes them worse is the invisible operational friction around them. Founders spend weeks searching for opportunities, hours rewriting the same answers, days organizing information across disconnected tools. Most people accept this as normal. I prefer building things that make those processes simpler. Not because software magically fixes startups, but because founders should spend more time building and less time navigating broken systems.
