About me

3X Entrepreneur | Angel Investor | 8-Figure Exit & $200M Raised Building Bold Companies. Living with Purpose. Giving Back with Heart. I’m a 3X founder who’s bootstrapped, scaled, and exited companies across media, AI, and SaaS—raising over $200M and learning the power of resilience through both business and life. Twice, I faced death and came back stronger. That clarity now fuels everything I build. From selling my first company (a Netflix-style platform for Indian regional content) for an 8-figure exit to scaling Instoried, an Emotion AI startup, to a global footprint, I’ve seen what it takes to win—and how costly the journey can be for founders without support. Today, I’m building PiePie AI, a next-gen video content creation platform, while also giving back through SAFE (Sharmin Ali Foundation for Entrepreneurs)—a nonprofit supporting founder mental health and emotional well-being. What I Offer on Hubble ✅ Go-To-Market Strategy & Scaling ✅ Fundraising & Investor Pitching ✅ AI Startup Strategy & Positioning ✅ Founder Mental Health & Resilience Coaching ✅ Navigating High-Stakes Growth & Exits ✅ Storytelling for Founders (Books, Pitches, & More) Background & Achievements – Bootstrapped & Exited 8-Figure Media Startup – Raised $200M+ for Emotion AI Company Instoried – Sold 2 Companies with Global Reach – Author of 2 Books + Upcoming ‘Bitch, Stop, Please’ – Founder of SAFE: Mental Health Support for Entrepreneurs Let’s talk scaling, resilience, or what it really takes to win.
