------- FOR FOUNDERS
The Velocity Gap
This is the space between where the business is going and how fast it could go.
How can we replace incremental gains with compounding progress, where speed is about leverage, not effort alone.
Where Adoption Is Facing Friction
Stuck Between PMF & Out of Time
How to remove hidden blockers to accelerate?
Pilot success but poor sales conversion
Burning runway on weak adoption
Building, But Not Enough Traction
Slow Traction, Unscalable Growth
Which lever to pull to steepen the trajectory?
Growth exists but isn't predictable
Unclear sustainable path to scale
Momentum Doesn't Convert to Value
Real Progress, But Upside Isn't Obvious
How to compound progress into value for investors?
Outcomes don't convert into upside yet
Defensibility feels weaker, or unclear
What We Do Differently ?
A surgical intervention to diagnose your exact bottleneck and blind spots—and give you a prioritized, executable plan to break through. Be it trajectory steepening, adoption viability, growth predictability, scaling economics, fundability, or exit readiness.
And then we sprint with you to execute the fix.
This isn't theory. It's an engineered path forward.
OUR IP
The Founder's Operating System
Startups tend to underperform because hidden constraints limit how fast they can move.
We built these frameworks to reveal startups’ blind spots across three critical zones.
Viability and Adoption
Growth and Scale
Capital and Outcome
Viability Triad (OGE)
Is my business fundamentally viable? Where is it breaking?
Growth Friction Diagnosis
Why are users not adopting? Where is growth stalling?
Pivot-to-Profitability
My model isn't sustainable. How do I change course without crashing?
Strategic Leverage Mapping
What's my hidden advantage? How can I 2x my efficiency?​
AI-powered GTM Rethink
How do I build a repeatable, scalable sales engine?
Investor Readiness
How do I tell my story so investors say 'yes'?
------- ENGAGEMENT MODEL -------
A Structured, Two-Phase Model
We work in two clear phases: first, a rapid diagnosis, then a hands-on sprint to fix it.
PHASE 1
2-Week
Audit
Framework-Driven Diagnosis
A rapid deep dive to identify your specific challenges and give you the roadmap out.
1
Health Check
Prioritized report on ICP, Value Proposition, PMF, GTM with strategic roadmap
2
Growth Readiness
Analysis of GTM, operational blockages, investor readiness with acceleration roadmap
PHASE 2
3-Month
Sprint
Embedded Execution
Stop analyzing and start fixing. You get an embedded partner to execute the roadmap.
1
Transformation Sprint
Resolve issues, adoption friction, fix value prop, rebuild PMF
Goal: Stabilized company with renewed direction
2
Acceleration Sprint
Reset GTM, operational blockages, with growth inflection
Goal: Rapid scaling pathway with predictable momentum
Ongoing Governance
Fractional Advisor / Board Observer
We provide ongoing strategic oversight in critical areas such as product strategy, GTM, and investor readiness, ensuring continued alignment and helping pre-empt future risks before they become expensive.

------- FOR INVESTORS
Portfolio De-Risking & Value Acceleration
Focused intervention can shape momentum and multiply defensible value in portfolio companies. We do this with execution rigor—turning trajectory risk into value leverage before capital, scale, or exit decisions lock in outcomes.
Risk Is Hidden
Until It's Expensive
High-Potential but Stalled
Strong founder, real traction—but stuck at adoption, GTM inconsistency, or unsustainable unit economics.
Promising but Chaotic
Teams pushing hard, but operations, narrative, and execution aren't aligned. Scaling breaks the model.
At-Risk Companies
Burning runway on the wrong lever or misdiagnosing the constraint. Turnaround is urgent.
How FYDA Engages at the Portfolio Level
A set of proprietary frameworks designed to diagnose portfolio risk and engineer repeatable outcomes.
Precision Instead of Perception
Objective diagnosis. Pure operating facts. No founder narrative or board bias.
Execution, Not Mentorship
We don't advise. We operate. WIth cadence for measurable outcomes.
Pattern Recognition
We see risks and accelerants most founders don't know to look for.
Better Portfolio Decisions
A 2-week audit for clarity on where to focus capital, attention, and runway.
Transform portfolio risk into framework-driven execution and engineered outcomes.
Let's begin with a scoping conversation.
MEET OUR STRATEGIST
Sudhir Kadam
FYDA's Lead Venture Transformation Architect
Sudhir's diagnostic frameworks—shaped through repeated interventions and turnarounds—form the foundation of
FYDA's Venture Transformation Studio.
He architected the proprietary Founder's Operating System that powers the interventions designed at FYDA. His core strength lies in identifying the hidden constraints founders can't see. His focus: diagnose the breaks, design the path, and drive the momentum that founders need to move forward.​​​​​
His operating credibility is grounded in real venture-building experience: Sudhir has been on the founding and executive teams of multiple startups, including one scaled organically from zero to $100M and another acquired by SoftBank. Through FYDA, he has been part of seven additional exits, including three cross-border acquisitions by public companies.
He has worked across Silicon Valley, Europe, and Asia, helping founders navigate PMF discovery, adoption challenges, GTM realignment, US market entry, growth discovery, investor readiness, and exit preparation. His work spans frontier and applied technologies—from Agentic AI, robotics, IIoT/computer vision, and enterprise AR to sustainable materials, geospatial systems, and med-tech.
Beyond direct venture work, Sudhir has designed and led accelerator, investor-readiness, and innovation programs worldwide, including UC Berkeley, SJSU, Bologna Business School, IITs in India, and corporate innovation workshops for Ferrari, LG, and Mitsubishi.​ He has authored Beyond Mediocrity, a book on battlefield wisdom for entrepreneurs and business leaders.
