In February 2023, the journey of TitanPayAI, then known as “Artorian,” reached a pivotal moment. While the business idea had already gained validation through conversations with global banks, questions lingered about its future, particularly as Zeeshan Shaikh, the founder, faced significant career decisions. With graduation from MIT approaching in June 2023, Zeeshan was in the midst of interviews for high-profile Payment Head roles at global banks. The risk of fully committing to the startup was daunting, and Zeeshan was hesitant to engage in competitions for validation. However, a team member’s insistence led them to participate in the prestigious NFX FAST Competition, held at MIT and Harvard, offering $100K to selected startups.
Zeeshan Shaikh never set out to be an entrepreneur. The idea of founding a startup wasn’t a lifelong dream but rather a path that emerged through the experiences and inspirations he encountered during his time at MIT. This is the story of how Zeeshan transitioned from a corporate career in banking to launching TitanPayAI, a startup poised to revolutionize the payments industry.

Last week we hosted our July Operators Club event at Lamplighter CX in Cambridge to talk about Growing Fast in 2024. A special thanks to HubSpot for Startups / HubSpot Ventures & Fidelity Private Shares for co-hosting (more on them below)!
The main takeaway? Growth is about nuance, timing, and being ready. It takes operating rigor and experience to learn to ride the waves, ask good questions, and most of all great things take time to build. Being ready is more important than your pace of growth! Even if your investors get impatient!
