by | Jun 22, 2025 | Leadership | 0 comments

Ujwal Arkalgud is a founder who bootstrapped his B2B tech company to a ten times revenue exit. What makes his story fascinating isn’t just the exit, but how he got there. 

As a trained anthropologist, Ujwal decoded what he called the invisible rules that shape entrepreneurial success—rules most founders miss. With just $5,000 in seed money, he built and scaled a business to exit in an industry dominated by massive companies with huge marketing budgets and startups with millions in venture funding.

Now, through his family office Investment Ark and his Decision Lab newsletter, Ujwal helps the 99% of founders who aren’t chasing unicorn status build resilient, profitable businesses. He’s documenting these insights in his upcoming book.
