Agile Entrepreneurs was born out of the challenges of bootstrapping that Krishna faced, first when he founded eCarpool - perhaps the first carpooling startup in Silicon Valley (1999-2001), and then again RideStation (2004-2008) with a global Agile development team in Silicon Valley & India (Hyderabad & New Delhi).

To lower burn rate and attract top startup talent, AE started in 2005 as the Services arm of RideStation, helping other early-stage startups build their products with high quality & speed and the lowest cost, with pay-by-productivity Agile contracts.

The RideStation team overcame the daunting challenges of getting past the “infinite” Product Vision & endless Features, by building customized  high-fidelity prototypes for enterprise customers in days, rapidly testing Go-to-Market Strategies in weeks, and developing the ability to refactor technology and pivot strategy, at will. 

This product & engineering startup expertise morphed into a strategy model that produced a rapid delivery roadmap in a seamless, predictable manner, maximizing business value, productivity, & efficiency, while minimizing waste & stress.

In 2006, AE launched a weekly strategy session to help bootstrapping entrepreneurs stay focused on user engagement & customer monetization.

In 2010 Agile Racecar (ARC) started as an Product/Engineering (P/E) agility & efficiency consulting for Product Management & Engineering leadership.

In 2013, 4WeekStartup (4WS) launched officially as an end-to-end coaching program for early-stage startups.
