Amit Yadav — Co-Founder

Product leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling multiple 0→1 and 0→100 consumer-facing products across mobile, web, and lead generation domains. I bring a rare blend of entrepreneurial execution and structured leadership, having built and scaled multiple consumer-facing products from concept to millions of users and tens of millions in revenue. 📱 Built and scaled a mobile apps business from the ground up to a $ 50M+ annual revenue run rate, with several apps ranking in the top 10 free apps on the US Google Play Store. 📊 Built the 0→1 development of a survey-based lead generation product, scaling it to a $25M ARR engine. 🏢 Established and scaled the Pune hub for Media.net from the ground up, building a 20+ member high-performing Tech and Product team to drive product velocity, operational efficiency, and strategic execution. ⚙️ Repeatedly led 0→1 product journeys—from idea validation, MVP definition, and GTM strategy to achieving product-market fit—across startups and high-growth companies. 🧠 As a co-founder of three tech startups (including one acquired by Media.net), I bring a founder’s mindset with deep product ownership, cross-functional leadership, and a track record of building innovative, revenue-generating solutions. 💼 Proven success across multiple industries—ad tech, lead gen, and B2C mobile—combined with strong technical acumen. I’ve worked closely with Tech leads, influenced architectural decisions, and ensured product-tech alignment at every stage. I’m passionate about building high-ownership teams, shipping fast, and driving measurable business impact in fast-moving environments.
