Hi, I'm Alfiya Kayumova —
founder and strategic partner to startup founders.
Mentor at Plug and Play (USA), speaker, and co-author of the book about women leadership "Winds of Change". I support founders through growth, fundraising, and moments that matter most.

My Story

​I know that feeling when you’re moving fast, decisions are heavy, and most of the time - no one to lean on. Because I chose this path myself.

​

I started my career in structured environments — Big4 consulting, investments, and corporate development — and eventually grew into a Vice President role.
At the peak of that corporate path, I made a deliberate choice: to step into uncertainty and build my own agritech startup.

 

No perfect timing. No safety net. Just a clear understanding - I need go there.

​

Since then, I’ve built and scaled a data-driven startup across 10 international markets, raised capital, worked with investors, defined go-to-market strategies, refined product-market fit, rebuilt business models, and made decisions when there was no obvious “right” answer.

​

Along the way, I learned something essential:
Founders don’t fail because they lack frameworks.
They struggle because they’re often alone with complex decisions.

​

Today, I work with startup founders as a strategic partner — not just a consultant.

​

Yes, I help with:

  • go-to-market and ICP,

  • product-market fit,

  • fundraising and investor strategy,

  • business models and scaling decisions.

 

But more importantly, I stay close when the context is messy, the pressure is high, and the path forward isn’t obvious.​

​

If you’re building something ambitious and need a calm, experienced partner to think with — not above you, not instead of you, but with you — I’m here.
