About
Working in IT sales and staffing since October 2018 showed me that the hardest part of building software is knowing which engineers to trust. That's what I help businesses with in United States, United Kingdom, Australia, United Arab Emirates, and Canada.
I'm Kejal Dave, an independent AI product development broker based in Ahmedabad, India. I work with startup founders across the US, UK, and Australia who have AI product ideas but don't want to spend months vetting dev shops.
Over the past year, I've helped launch four AI products through my partner network: video generation, sales analytics, marketing automation, and e-commerce tools. Each one is live, generating revenue, and built by teams I've personally vetted.
My job isn't to write code. It's to understand your problem, match you with the right engineering team, and stay accountable until your product ships. If I can't help, I'll tell you upfront.
What the years taught me
7+ years of watching projects succeed and fail taught me that portfolios and pitch decks predict nothing. I vet teams on one signal: products they shipped that are live and earning right now.
You never bet your budget on a slide deck.
No agency says 'we're the wrong fit.' They say yes, then underdeliver for six months. I sat on the sales side long enough to know every version of that yes.
If my network can't do it well, I tell you before you spend a dollar.
Every failed engagement I've seen shared one trait: a big commitment made before any evidence. So every deal I structure starts with a paid pilot sprint and a working prototype inside a month.
You validate the team with weeks and thousands, instead of years and six figures.
When client and delivery team talk through a rotating cast of account managers, problems hide until they become crises. I stay in every engagement personally, first call to launch.
You deal with one person from start to finish, and that person is me.
Track record
These are real, named companies. Ask any of them about me before you sign anything.

delivery team growth while I ran business development
I joined AppUnik when the delivery team was 3 people. The contractual projects I closed across the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and Canada grew that team past 25. That pipeline is the strongest proof I have that I can sell what a team can actually deliver.
Delivery companies whose pipelines I've filled with contractual and project work from international clients.
Delivery alliances I set up between AppUnik and these companies, so overflow work moves between vetted teams instead of strangers.
How I work
You bring the requirement. I bring the delivery team and stay in the deal as your single accountable contact. The teams are engineering partners I've vetted through real projects, and I've turned down more of them than I've kept.
Why does this beat going direct? A dev shop earns by selling you its own bench. I earn when the match succeeds, and my reputation across five markets is the only asset I have. If nobody in my network fits your project, I say so and point you elsewhere.
Every engagement begins with a paid pilot sprint: a working prototype in 2 to 4 weeks. A small commitment and real output. Then you decide.
