# CRCKD

> CRCKD is an experiment lab run by four people in their early twenties in India. Founded by Aarya Gandre and Dhruv Kumar; Divyaansh Chhipa and Tanish Vhora are the other two pitchers. It takes on one problem at a time for an early-stage company, a problem with a number on it, and works inside the company until that number moves. The work spans growth (go-to-market, inbound, outbound), capital (fundraising, valuation, building a venture arm) and ops (automation, CRMs, order management). Each piece of work is called a mandate.

CRCKD is not an agency and does not sell retainers, decks or discovery calls. Mandates so far: eight, one live. The site is at https://www.crckd.live. Contact: crckdteam@gmail.com.
