The Problem

Most startups fail.

Startups struggle to launch, scale, and fundraise successfully. Why?

Your product isn't competitive

Many startups fail due to an unvalidated solution and a long, complex product roadmap that misses the mark.

Bad Go-To-Market execution

Without a structured GTM plan, startups struggle to acquire and retain customers fast enough to survive.

Inability to secure funding

Founders often face obstacles in attracting investors due to poor strategy, weak narratives, and ineffective outreach.

The Solution

Accelerate your growth.

Whether you need community support, deep data insights, or direct expert guidance.

★★★★★

We worked with Ruya on a strategic global project revolving around 3 axes: Redefining acquisition efforts Reorganizing roles within the leadership team Reflecting on the product and pricing strategy We are entirely satisfied with this support, which exceeded our expectations. Indeed, Majd quickly identified the market drivers and tensions of our current offering without needing to delve into the details of our industry or business model, which would have been time-consuming. He established the necessary mechanisms to guide us through a detailed roadmap for concrete action, which we ourselves defined. Majd's support extended over several weeks, during which he identified the right metrics to follow and facilitated working sessions, reporting, and goal planning. Ruya's intervention was crucial in reshaping our organization and redefining our goals at a pivotal moment in our development. We continue to work regularly with Ruya as we have recently asked Majd to support us on a new project of great importance: optimizing the user experience to increase conversion rates. Thanks for your ongoing and much needed help !

Working on our online communication development plan with Ruya was a real eye-opener. The process Majd and his team took us through was very thorough and got the team not only to think and brainstorm but also to organize thoughts and ideas, and put them in a concrete and actionnable plan. I am really proud of what we achieved with Ruya's support!

We had the pleasure of working with Ruya Advisory on what was initially planned as a go-to-market strategy session. Early into the discussion, their team quickly identified that our company was at a stage where a different strategic approach was needed before diving into go-to-market planning. Their expertise, clarity, and structured guidance helped us refocus on the essential next steps to build a strong foundation. The team was insightful, professional, and genuinely invested in our success. We truly appreciate their support and highly recommend them to any startup looking for strategic direction.

Ruya's consulting services were instrumental in shaping the concept and success of my food reviewing app. From the initial brainstorming sessions to the product development, Ruya's team provided insightful advice, challenged assumptions, and demonstrated an unwavering attention to detail. They helped me refine my concept, identify potential pain points, and develop user-friendly features that would make Nummy stand out in the crowded food review market. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Ruya was their ability to think strategically while maintaining a focus on the user experience. They understood the importance of creating an app that not only provided users with the information they needed but also made the process of reviewing food enjoyable and engaging. I highly recommend Ruya's consulting services to anyone looking to develop a successful app. Their expertise, insights, and attention to detail are truly invaluable.
