Same Team · Same Advisory · New Entity Name

If you have seen this name on an invoice, nothing has changed.

Venture Side Partners is the operating entity behind The Startup Gig. Same advisors. Same engagement standards. Same team you have been working with since day one. The only difference is which name appears on your contracts and financial documents.

One Practice, Two Names

Venture Side Partners

The registered operating entity. Contracts, invoicing, and financial operations.

=

The Startup Gig

The advisory practice. Your advisors, your engagement, your point of contact.

Why Two Names

A structural decision. Not a change in who we are.

As the practice grew across five countries and multiple service lines, we separated the operating entity from the advisory brand. This is standard practice for professional firms. It changes how we handle finances internally. It changes nothing about how we work with you.

01

Same team, same advisors

Adv. Pooja Terwad leads the practice. The same principal advisors, associates, and specialists you have worked with remain on your engagements. No handoffs. No transitions. No new points of contact.

02

Same scope, same standards

Every engagement continues under its existing terms. Same deliverables, same timelines, same fee structure. If you signed with The Startup Gig, your engagement carries forward without amendment.

03

Only financial documents change

Invoices, contracts, and payment instructions now reference Venture Side Partners as the registered entity. Everything client-facing continues under The Startup Gig name and website.
