Announcing the Tough Love Coaching Series for H1B Founders Community!
Unfiltered 1:1 Brutal Truth, Real Breakthroughs, Just Hard-Hitting Founder Coaching!
Hey everyone,
I’m excited to finally share something new SID has been working on, based on countless conversations with founders in this community.
We just recorded the very first episode of my Tough Love Coaching Series with Swapneel and it was incredible. Real talk, No fluff, Actual breakthroughs.
This is not theory. This is SID sitting down 1:1 with Founders, cutting through the noise, and helping them get unstuck.
I'm Manisha Puppala, your host and I’m so excited to meet you all and hear your stories. Let’s build something amazing.
🎯 What This Series Is About
Most H1B founders are trapped in “employee mindset.” They’ve been thinking about it for months but can’t clearly explain what they’re building. Gentle advice doesn’t solve that.
That’s why this series is called Tough Love Coaching because sometimes you need direct, unfiltered feedback to break through.
🔥 How It Works
I’m opening 5 exclusive slots for H1B founders who want SID’s coaching.
👉 Normally, SID charges $500/hour for this work. You’ll get it free, as long as you’re okay with the session being recorded and shared with our community (we remove anything sensitive).
Each session is:
45–60 minutes 1:1 with SID.
Brutally honest feedback on what’s really holding you back.
Clear, practical next steps (no theory, no fluff).
Recorded so thousands of other founders can learn too.
✅ Who’s Already In
Episode 1: Swapneel (recorded)
Episode 2: Akshyae (booked)
Episode 3: Rana (booked)
That leaves 2 open slots for September.
📌 What I Need From You
If you want to apply, here’s what’s required:
Be specific about what you’re building
Be ready for tough, honest truth (it’s called tough love for a reason)
Be comfortable with us sharing the recording
🚨 Apply Now
We’ll be selecting the final 2 founders for September soon. If this goes well, I’ll open more slots next month but for now, only 5 total.
👉 Reserve your slot here:
This isn’t about being mean. It’s about cutting through the BS that’s keeping founders stuck. Every Founder SID coaches runs into the same patterns and Tough Love is what actually gets results.
Let’s go. 💥
