Sheneela Akram
MBA, FMVA, FPAP
I work with B2B SaaS founders across North America and Europe, from seed to Series A, mentor pre-seed tech founders, and share practical insights with early-stage startups through workshops.
I began my career in corporate finance at Bank Alfalah Limited, investigating discrepancies and developing strategies. Those habits still shape how financial plans are built: questioning assumptions, finding gaps early, and tracking what matters.
The move into the startup ecosystem brought that discipline to early-stage tech companies. Today, my focus is helping founders build the financial infrastructure to prepare for their next round and hold up under scrutiny.
I mentor pre-seed startups at Founder Institute Berlin and support teams in the greenCHEM innovate! call, a philanthropically funded incubation program in Berlin, Germany. I also take part in workshops and founder events, carrying this guidance to early-stage founders more broadly.
Alongside my MBA, I hold the Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA) and Financial Planning and Analysis Professional (FPAP) certifications, combining business strategy, financial modeling, valuation, and planning and analysis, the skills behind the work I enjoy most.
When I am not working, reading in a quiet nook is my favourite pastime.
