Vibhas Patil — CEO
As a founding team member at Hoopr (India's largest music licensing platform), I've served as Chief of Staff to the CEO, handling everything from growth marketing to investor relations. I've scaled our user base from 0 to 400K+, grew revenue 4X, and achieved an all-time high 6:1 LTV:CAC ratio. I improved ROAS from 0.05 to 2.67X and scaled organic acquisition from 20% to 65%. Beyond acquisition, I've built systems: our customer success function (cut churn 50%), analytics infrastructure (Amplitude/Mixpanel), and regional expansion strategy that unlocked Tier 2/3 India. I've also run pricing experiments increasing AOV by 60%, launched three platforms, and partnered with our CEO on fundraising and board reviews. CORE STRENGTHS • Growth Marketing: Unit economics obsessed. I run systematic experiments to find what scales profitably • Product Marketing: Full cycle—research, positioning, pricing, GTM. I increase willingness-to-pay through deep customer understanding • Product Management: launched three platforms at Hoopr, coordinated cross-functional teams from concept to market • Customer Success: Retention drives LTV. I build feedback loops connecting customer insights to product strategy • Strategic Operations: I thrive in ambiguity, managing cross-functional teams and navigating resource constraints while maintaining growth BACKGROUND Before Hoopr, I scaled apps to 500K+ downloads at Cactus Communications (Team of the Year 2021) and advanced from Account Executive to Business Manager at Performics (Publicis Groupe) in 5.5 years managing enterprise clients across APAC/MENA and delivering 150-300% growth. I'm a former professional musician (bassist, nationally recognized blues-rock band), watch enthusiast, MMA fan, and a chess player.
