About

For the last 17 years, I’ve started companies across health, real estate, and food (see below). And honestly? The years post-COVID 2021-2024 have been brutally tough for growth and cash flow. I’ve had to put in a lot of my own money to make sure the businesses survive (they did). But the cost was heavy: Constant stress. No life outside work. Lost hair. Bad health. Shaky personal lives. For a long time, I thought that was the “price of success”. I DON'T choose to believe that anymore. I think 1 person + smart AI-powered systems is the perfect builder’s storm. My idea of a perfect week: 75% building ideas + content 25% meeting other builders to learn + teach I call this VIBE BUILDING: One person + AI systems can build something real… while living healthy, travelling the world, enjoying all facets of life, have time for family, and NOT LIVE in a constant state of stress. So I’m on a mission: My next goal is to hit €100K/month of my own billing through a portfolio of cash-flow generating ventures that have a strong mission; while sharing my lessons with radical transparency in my newsletter. Where am I today? Follow me in real time here: https://indiepa.ge/northstarmahesh Some of the things I’ve built: MoonRise.Health - CEO & Founder (profitable pelvic health studio for women) DarkEdition.se - CEO & Founder (almost profitable, food courts in shipping containers) Epicenter - Owner (innovation house, profitable and established) Result.com - CEO & Owner (growth consulting, €4M turnover, sold successfully) FitnessCollection - Founder (acquired by ClassPass) Magine TV - Early team (raised €150M, live + recorded TV) If you want to intentionally build a life of money, mission and momentum, we will definitely enjoy each other's company!

Magine

Growth & Internationalisation

Apr 2011Aug 2014 · 3 yrs 4 mos · Berlin Area, Germany

  • If TV was invented today, what would it look like? Thats how we started in inventing Magine TV, where one can watch live and recorded linear TV across any device without a set top box. Think of it like your set top box and DVR box in the cloud, with some magic on top. From not worrying about missing your favourite shows (everything is automatically recorded) to watching anywhere any time without paying an arm and leg for your cable subscription, Magine TV is TV as it should be.
  • My role has been quite diverse since we began the journey. Initially was in the fundraising for our Series A raise of 14,5M EUR. Since then I have been involved in our launch in Sweden, Germany and Spain. Primary role was in customer acquisition, PR and building teams that can work with branding and performance marketing across traditional and digital channels.

Standard chartered bank

Financial Analyst Intern

May 2007Jul 2007 · 2 mos · Singapore

  • Analyst at Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) where my role was to analyse the risk-return equation of key global markets movements in correlation to "safe" tech portfolios that the bank had. Example: how does the sub-prime crisis affect the ability for the tech companies to raise money? Can it be quantified into a simple equation?
  • The result although premature and purely internal was conclusively stating that companies that have less than 50M, in turn, over, and less than 10% liquidity, had a 3,5x more risk of not getting subsequent funding. The cautious growth, in turn, would dilute the value of the stock which would make the basket weak. Hence, identifying these companies within the basket and reclassifying them would make it safer for investors.

Tencube
