Bootstrapping

New Arrival

Created 12 years ago in Funding / Bootstrapping

For the last 8 years I have bootstrapped many businesses. Having worked in different fields, from tech to clothing to field hockey, all in different global markets has given me a unique perspective on the challenges of being an entrepreneur. There is also a lot that goes behind the scenes, there is self doubt, financial worries and above all the struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance. I am always learning something new everyday and it would be pleasure to talk with individuals who are going through similar challenges.

I have been a bootstrapping entrepreneur since I was 18. All my ventures are design intensive and leverage the internet in one way or another. These last 9 years have hence made me a designer, a technologist, a project manager, a copywriter, a business manager, an HR guy... suffice to say that I wear many hats and though some may say that being a jack of all is not ideal, I’d say that is exactly who I am because that’s exactly what I need to be!

Having enjoyed a few sessions Asad has run I can thoroughly recommend his skills as a lecturer, workshop leader and/or consultant. He has great presentation skills, great insights and a genuine passion for business and entrepreneurship.

Asad has delivered a number of sessions as part of the MSc Course at The University of Warwick for me around business start-up concepts and practice. Very engaging and useful, the students feedback was very complimentary regards his knowledge, understanding and relaxed delivery style. He displayed what can be accomplished with taking the jump and having the drive to see a business startup and grow.
I've also had dealings with his Hockey business on a personal level and his product and service are exceptional, will continue you to use him in both his lecture capacity and also his hockey business.

Asad was a visionary with the ability to clearly layout a path to achieve success in any project or venture. He is vastly experienced from his past entrepreneurial ventures, which makes him a huge advantage in any team. A great team player, effective communicator and a leader.
