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

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.

Majd and Ruya Advisory led a workshopping session with our class of new entrepreneurs. Majd helped them plan for the unique challenges of software startups from his impressive personal experience. The class response was very positive, and Majd gave them confidence (without sugarcoating the many challenges) at their early stages. We would love to work with Ruya Advisory again!

Founder, TripHype

★★★★★

Working with Majd has been instrumental in shaping TripHype from an early concept into an MVP-ready product. He guided me step by step through the journey, from refining the prototype to preparing for go-to-market. While consistently challenging my assumptions about the problem and helping me better understand and validate our target audience. His ability to pressure-test ideas and question key decisions ensured that we stayed focused on building a product that delivers real value, rather than just features. Beyond strategy, Majd brought strong clarity to execution. He helped sharpen our release plan, prioritize the right features for the MVP, and define a clear, efficient user acquisition approach that avoids unnecessary spending. His balance of big-picture thinking and practical guidance gave me confidence in both the product direction and our launch strategy, making the entire process more structured, focused, and impactful
