The team building the family health layer for India. Microsoft and ServiceNow product DNA, a founder narrative that sticks, and the equity and succession structure investors look for.
Clear allocation removes investor concern about "multiple bets". Appzcart is the flagship raise. AppzCode is a self-sustaining Section 8 with its own ops lead (Divya). Healthplus is the Appzcart product, not a separate venture. Personal hobbies stay personal.
Minimal founder salary for first 12 months (₹1 L/mo). Personal savings buffer for 18 months. Spouse / family financial alignment confirmed. No external pressure to exit early or take wrong capital. Investors see a founder who can stay disciplined.
Single founder structure currently — lead engineer Saravanan as senior employee with meaningful ESOP (not co-founder equity). If a co-founder joins pre-Series A, structured vesting (1-year cliff, 4-year vest) with founder protection clauses.
Founder vesting: already 100% vested with reverse-vesting on Series A only if standard. Weighted-average anti-dilution (not full ratchet). Founder board seat through Series B. Drag-along threshold >75%. Right of first refusal on transfers.
12 years writing code at scale. Certified gym trainer. Watched family members navigate fragmented healthcare. Left corporate to build the platform he wished existed for his own family. "Think like a founder, code like an architect." Authentic, technical, mission-driven.
LinkedIn: weekly founder essays. X / Twitter: daily builder updates. Target 2 podcast features in Y1 (Indian startup podcasts). Long-form essay every month on Indian family health, AI in healthcare, or founder lessons. Investors search for you before they meet you.
Gym discipline maintained — 4 sessions/week. Sleep: 7+ hours non-negotiable. Coffee, not caffeine dependency. Weekly day off from work. Investors back founders who can sustain 7-year journeys, not 7-month sprints.
Documented: vision, product roadmap, partnership contacts, investor relationships, board protocols. Lead Engineer + Operations Lead can run the company for 90 days while board appoints interim CEO. Founder life insurance with the company as beneficiary, sized to bridge.
