Karthik Puvvada (KP)

Founder. Advisor. Coach.

I'm Karthik Puvvada, often called 'KP' by friends and my audience on the Internet. Currently, I am leading Founder Relations at a global fintech startup Paddle (last valued at $1.4B) helping create and run founder-facing educational and community programs. My main focus is running Paddle’s accelerator program called AI Launchpad that helped over 250+ startups from 68 countries build, launch and grow software businesses.

Before that, I was the founder & CEO of Build In Public Fellowship, an ed-tech startup that offered online programs and community to helped 100s of early stage founders overcome growth and product challenges.

I also co-founded 2 SaaS startups and over 15 side-hustles since 2018 all in public. I started a business podcast the “Build In Public Podcast” and interviewed ambitious founders & CEOs like Gary Vee, Alexis Ohanian Sr.

I was awarded “Community Member of the Year (2022)” by Product Hunt as I became a Top Hunter on the platform helping ~105 startups with their go-to-market launch campaigns. (Interested to collab with me? DM me)

I’m one of the strongest evangelists of the “building in public” movement that is helping founders attract early customers & investors by sharing their journey online as it unfolds.

Previously, I helped over 500 founders globally take a shot on their dreams and kickstart businesses through education programs and communities resulting in $1.25m in revenue. Led high-profile positions as a director at startups like On Deck (funded by Founders Fund) and Day One (funded by Gary Vee).

Welcome to my personal website where I share hand-picked resources, ideas and insights from my journey and experiences to help founders and creators.
