Meet Rafael Sarim

Followed by Amardeep V

I've operated, invested in, and advised startups that have raised > $3B from VCs like Softbank and Founders Fund, IPO’ed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, and scaled to double-digit million-dollar revenues.

I now work as a Growth Advisor and Executive, specializing in growth because slow growth kills 9 out of 10 startups. Founders, executives, employees, and investors all fear slow growth.

Identity verifiedVetted for secure and trusted collaboration.
