A Word from Tabrez
I know firsthand that seasoned product and technology talent is often tied up at tech giants or too expensive for early-stage startups.
That’s why I created ZipStartup—to make expert guidance accessible and available to all startups.
We help founders navigate critical product, technology, and AI decisions without the cost of a full-time executive.
Check out our testimonials to see how I’ve helped startup founders succeed. Book your complimentary session today to learn how we can collaborate.
