Built for the Real Journey
The Parallel Ventures Framework doesn't assume you've raised capital or built a team.
It starts at zero — just like most founders do.
It's structured to guide you from confusion to clarity, step by step, with room to grow at your own pace.
The Startup Framework
The Parallel Ventures Startup Framework is a practical, founder-first model designed to help you navigate the real, non-linear journey of building a venture. It doesn't assume you'll move in a straight line from idea to success — because real entrepreneurship rarely works that way.
Instead of stages or steps, the framework is structured around 7 distinct Tracks — each one built around a common challenge that founders face. These Tracks are not sequential. You don't “graduate” from one to the next. You move between them based on your current challenge, your startup's needs, and your own personal rhythm as a founder.
Sometimes you'll begin with Clarity. Other times, you'll find yourself in Shift or Wellness without expecting it. That's the point — this framework meets you where you are, not where a playbook says you should be.
Each Track is supported by tools, reflection prompts, real-world founder insights, and structured guidance — helping you focus not just on the what, but on the why now.
Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of each of the 7 Tracks. Click through the accordion to explore what each Track helps you navigate, who it's best suited for, and what you can expect if you work through it — whether on your own or through 1-on-1 guidance.
CLARITY TRACK
Before you build, pause. This track helps you reconnect with your why, filter distractions, and define what success means to you. It's where most journeys begin — and where many return.
BUILD TRACK
Turn your core insight into a real-world offering. Design your MVP, validate assumptions, and test what actually matters to your users — not just what sounds good on paper.
SELL TRACK
Align value with pricing, messaging, and early traction. This track helps you monetise meaningfully, test revenue models, and move from pushy selling to strategic earning.
SCALE TRACK
Growth requires systems. This track helps you strengthen operations, delegate without chaos, and make smart financial decisions that support long-term stability.
SHIFT TRACK
When something's not working, this is your reset button. Diagnose what's broken, reconnect with your purpose, and design a renewed path forward with clarity and conviction.
WELLNESS TRACK
You are your startup's most vital resource. This track focuses on energy, clarity, and mental resilience — so you can build without burning out.
AMPLIFY TRACK
Once your foundation is strong, it's time to expand. Amplify your voice, presence, partnerships, and legacy through thoughtful leadership and ecosystem building.

Who is this for?
Built for Founders Navigating Real Questions, Not Just Business Models
The Parallel Ventures Startup Framework is for those who aren't just chasing a startup dream — they're living the questions that come with it. Whether you're starting from scratch, scaling something that finally works, or rebuilding after a pivot, this framework gives you structure without rigidity — and guidance without judgment.
You don't need to fit a template. You just need to know what you're trying to figure out right now.
Best suited for:
- Aspiring entrepreneurs looking for clarity before they commit
- First-time founders trying to validate, build, and grow with purpose
- Side-hustlers transitioning into full-time ventures
- Solo founders who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to prioritise
- Early-stage teams trying to align vision, systems, or strategy
- Founders at a crossroad — unsure whether to pivot, pause, or push forward
- Those seeking structure, traction, and a sense of control — without hype
How to use this Framework
More Than a Model. It's a System You Can Actually Use.
The Parallel Ventures Startup Framework doesn't live in a deck. It lives in decisions.
Every part of the Parallel Ventures ecosystem is powered by this model — from personal mentoring sessions and workshops to tools, community discussions, and the book series itself. Whether you prefer working solo, guided reflection, or collaborative environments, there's a way to engage with the Framework that fits how you learn and grow.
Where You'll Find the Framework in Action:
- 1-on-1 Guidance
Personalised mentoring sessions mapped to the 7 Tracks. Wherever you are, there's a track to help you move forward.
- Book Series
The story of Priya and Rohan isn't just inspiration — it's a guided walkthrough of how real founders navigate each track, in sequence and in chaos.
- Scalora Workshops
Hands-on learning experiences that bring the Framework to life in a group setting. Practical, engaging, and founder-driven.
- Toolkits & Templates
Over 190 tools aligned to these Tracks — from scorecards and canvases to checklists and planning aids. Soon available in online form.
- PV Startup Circle (Community)
Conversations, reflections, and shared wins — all grounded in the language and flow of the Framework.
Choose Your Entry Point
Not Sure Where to Start? Let Your Challenge Choose the Track.
The Framework isn't linear, and you don't need to figure everything out at once. You just need to know where you are right now. Each Track is designed to meet you at a specific tension point — clarity, growth, overwhelm, stuckness, or expansion.
Here's how to pick your starting point:
- Feeling lost or unsure what to build? ➤ Start with the Clarity Track
- You've got an idea but need to shape and test it. ➤ Explore the Build Track
- You're trying to earn your first revenue or refine pricing. ➤ Dig into the Sell Track
- You're growing fast but struggling with systems or capacity. ➤ Go to the Scale Track
- Something isn't working — and you're not sure why. ➤ Reset through the Shift Track
- You're tired, scattered, or close to burning out. ➤ Ground yourself in the Wellness Track
- You're ready to grow your voice, presence, or legacy. ➤ Step intothe Amplify Track
I thought I needed a mentor to tell me what to do. What I really needed was a way to figure it out for myself. The Clarity Track did just that — helped me get out of my own head and take a confident step forward.

First-time founder
This framework doesn't just give you worksheets. It gives you a way of thinking. I used the Build and Sell Tracks back-to-back — and for the first time, I knew exactly who I was building for and how to make money doing it.
Amit Kumar
Side hustler turned full-time founder
I was growing fast but felt like I was barely holding things together. The Scale Track helped me set up systems, delegate better, and finally get out of firefighter mode. Game-changer.

I had hit a wall — emotionally and strategically. The Shift and Wellness Tracks helped me reflect, reset, and redesign my venture in a way that actually felt right. This framework brought me back to myself.

Founder in transition
I was stuck in the ideation phase for months until I connected with Ajaii. His structured guidance helped me validate my market, refine my offering, and confidently launch my startup. His mentorship is a game-changer for any entrepreneur.

Founder at The Artisan Hub
Working with Ajaii was like having a co-founder in your corner - minus the equity! He helped me structure my idea into a real offering, build my first pilot, and even script my early pitch. I honestly don't think I'd have made this kind of progress alone.

Founder at Habitloop
We were seeing some traction but couldn't break past a certain revenue ceiling. Ajaii's frameworks for pricing, customer journeys, and feedback loops were a game-changer. He challenged our assumptions without ever being prescriptive.

More than just business advice, Ajaii helped me reconnect with why I started in the first place. His calm, structured approach gave me space to think and rebuild - not just my venture, but my energy.
