What people are saying

It was immediately clear to me that she has business intelligence.
I have taken Raja’s course “Get Investor-ready”. I decided to attend this course after having an introductory meeting with her – it was immediately clear to me that she has business intelligence. She knows what works and what doesn’t work, which questions to ask, and whether your business is scalable or not. In other words, she is a sharp critical thinker. Raja is also very generous in sharing her knowledge, resources, and network. My business SASU is a marketplace, and this is an area she has domain knowledge in. I have learned a lot from her and would highly recommend her to anyone who has an idea they would like to execute.

I took the startup program that Raja teaches since I had a Startup idea that I wanted to build a Business Plan for. Raja showed to be not only a super resourceful teacher but due to her broad background she also doubled as a mentor/coach/advisor.
For me personally it was the mix of her solid written foils during class, the discussions she set up and the case studying that really accelerated my learning curve. Raja’s contribution here was crucial. Especially her focus regarding Structure, Speed, and Performance to move faster, really set us off. I can honestly say that if she had not stressed the importance of validation and the constant defragmentation of all aspects of our construction of the Business Plan. I am most certain that it would not have been as solid as it came out. Now actively working with all aspects of Growth Management and Business Development for a Norwegian Scaleup, this course and Raja’s input has shown to be invaluable in my daily work. I strongly recommend anybody working with a Startup (idea) to make full use of her extensive knowledge and network. Either on a coaching or advisory basis. Not to mention the true bonus that Raja herself has a fantastic personality!

Raja is a great person and a great communicator.
She is also highly experienced in Startup Methodologies and Fundraising. I would recommend anyone who is starting or growing their business to learn from her, so they can access her knowledge and boost their growth. The ones who get to work with her are very lucky.

CEO & Founder of CleanCup

I’ve been so lucky to work with Raja as my coach.
She understands what it’s like to be a founder but also what it’s like on the other side of the table, as an investor, which makes her insight valuable. She’s not only knowledgeable out startups and capital raising, but she’s wise, fun and kind too. A session with her always gives food for thought, which I appreciate.

Raja knows business challenges in various stages and uses her knowledge to help business leaders and entrepreneurs tackle these in the most effective way.
Raja is a good listener and does not impose her thoughts and solutions. She asks the right questions that ignite the thought process and help you discover the direction, answers, solutions, and opportunities. Working with her in multiple sessions, I have often found my thoughts triggered by her questions, suggestions, and solutions. She is always doing her best for her clients, giving push/space where necessary. It has been an absolute delight to have sessions with her which gave my business better direction and clarity. She is a warm person and will not be shy to help whenever she can. I will recommend her to any entrepreneurs/businesses who have challenges or want to grow their business. Talk to her, and she will open your eyes to new solutions and opportunities.

I recommend Raja to anyone that has the passion, ambition and drive to create their own business path.
When me and my co-founder attended to Raja’s program we expected it it be like any other programs. But what makes Raja’s program different (in my opinion) is her understanding of how a person feels throughout her coaching session and can keep pace with where you have limited yourself and possibly solve it. Her professional understanding of the business world and how unpredictable and scary it can be if you are not prepared is what makes her session worth it. She is also a lot of fun to have as a coach! highly recommended.
