Shared publicly -- VenturePactCofounder, 2012 - presentVenturePact is an invite only marketplace that connects companies with trusted software development firms. Finding a vetted development company that matches your requirements and preferences is challenging as there are many software service providers around the world with varying levels of quality and specialty. This makes it hard for experienced development shops to stand out especially given that clients are usually located in different countries. Our marketplace addresses these issues by connecting companies with the best software service providers that fit their needs. Our service providers are skilled in open source, mobile and web technologies including iphone (iOS), Android, Windows, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Php, .NET, scala, Java, javascript, CSS, HTML, sharepoint, wordpress, drupal, joomla, MYSQL, mongoDB, cyber security, salesforce integration, user interface and user experience (UI/UX) or web design and many more. With the new era of companies focusing on doing a few things well, instead of trying to build everything in house, we want to streamline the entire process of finding, screening, onboarding, negotiating and paying service providers around the world.

A consistent problem my cofounder, Pratham Mittal, and I found in the tech companies we worked at or invested in was in software. Outsourcing software, managing remote and distributed engineering teams and hiring the best software developers full time or as freelancers is difficult. We started VenturePact.com to help businesses better address their tech needs.
Over the last few years we have met software consulting firms around the world (both onshore and offshore) and assessed their portfolio, their programmers, and their previous clients' experiences. Based on their skill set, industry focus and pricing schemes, we connect companies with these trusted prescreened software development firms.
I enjoy meeting and working with passionate people, playing sports and traveling.
