🚀 Saurabh Kaura

Hey, I’m Saurabh 👋 Based in Sydney and passionate about building community, closing meaningful deals, and helping ambitious people move faster. How’d I get here? 👇 💼 I spent 3+ years in B2B SaaS sales at Zensai, starting as an SDR and growing into a Sales Executive role, closing high-value deals across APAC and leading initiatives that blended Sales, Community, and Partnerships. I also hosted IRL events and built one of the most engaged B2B communities in the HR & L&D space. 🌏 As a proud migrant, I landed in Australia 6 years ago with no network and no playbook. I built everything from the ground up; one coffee, one connection, and one "why not?" at a time. 🚶 Along the way, I ran a podcast with 150+ guests, started a hiking group that grew to 2,500+ members, met 100+ strangers over coffee, and somehow convinced them to come on walks, runs, or brainstorms. 🎯 Today, I’m co-building Impact Circle: a growing IRL community for founders, operators, and creatives who want to build meaningful things and get better by learning from each other. We believe real breakthroughs happen mid-conversation, not in the comments section. Here’s how we do it: 💬 Curated Roundtables: invite-only deep dives for startup builders 🏛 Townhall Discussions: tackling what’s broken in the startup ecosystem 🏃‍♂️ 7K Founder & VC Monthly Runs (with Startup Striders) ⚡️ Sprint Programs for early-stage founders to validate and grow faster 🔥 𝐌𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬? Thriving at the intersection of Sales, Community, Partnerships, and Startups — powered by hands-on SaaS experience across ANZ and APAC. If you’re building, hiring, fundraising, rethinking, or want to talk about growth, goals, or where to get the best cappuccino, then let’s chat. 📧 [email protected] 📞 +61 0459 735 356
