Am I missing something obvious, or is this a real gap: diaspora senior sales talent for Indian startups selling to Western clients?
Idea (one line)
A curated marketplace matching US/UK/EU-based Indian diaspora senior Sales/BD leaders with Indian startups & MSMEs to help them win Western customers.
What it solves
“Giving back” does not scale: diaspora seniors want clear incentives, not informal mentoring.
High perceived risk: many are hesitant to commit time or equity without structure, protections, and accountability.
Leadership and fit gap on the company side: startups often cannot afford senior sales leadership; hiring non-diaspora leaders for strategic roles can create cultural misfit and expensive churn
How it works
Vetting → scoping call → curated match → packaged engagement with milestone-based deliverables (GTM plan, ICP/positioning, outbound motion, pipeline, partnerships/channels).
Commercial model
Retainer-first, with equity as preferred upside (optional hybrid).
