About the Founder
I'm Shahed, founder of Investment Ready. For over ten years I worked in equity research and financial analysis, advising institutional investors and publishing my insights on listed companies. That experience taught me what investors notice first and what convinces them to commit capital.
I now apply that investor lens to startup fundraising. I work hands-on with accelerators, incubators and venture builders to refine commercial assumptions, build financial models that stand up to due diligence, and sharpen investment narratives. I tackle challenges systematically: identify the key gaps, address the most important issues, and guide founders to communicate their vision with clarity and credibility.
My goal is clear: to turn founder vision into fundable reality.
