I have rolled laddoos, pulled espresso shots, and packed Diwali hampers - all while running a Founder's Office P&L. Nine years across Epigamia, Hunger Inc, and Subko. First FO hire at two companies, and I've sat on the hiring side - screening applications, setting take-home tasks, deciding who gets in front of the founder. I broke in the way I now teach: cold emailed the D2C brands I wanted to work for. Every founder replied, two made offers, and Ankur Warikoo featured my results in his newsletter. Breaking into FO is a journey - let's take it together! Cold email strategy, resume reviews, application prep: I'll show you what the other side of the desk actually looks for, because for years, I was the desk.
