Founder & General Partner, Hero Group

Raj is a builder of businesses and teams — a seasoned executive who’s spent more than 20 years turning bold ideas into thriving, profitable ventures. His career spans some of the world’s fastest-growing startups and most innovative marketplaces, from Uber and Workrise to Real and KEY. Across each role, one thing has stayed the same: his focus on empowering people through technology that actually improves how they work and live.

Before co-founding Hero Group, Raj founded Next Inflection Group, a startup studio and strategic advisory firm that helps founders secure funding, scale intelligently, and navigate successful exits. His experience leading high-performance teams and managing complex operations gives Hero Group the foundation to scale quickly — without losing the clarity and purpose that define its mission.

At Hero Group, Raj brings a rare mix of startup instinct and operational discipline, helping shape the vision behind products like Reclaimr and Vaultoniq. He believes the collision repair industry is at a turning point — and that simple, intelligent technology can help shop owners take back control of their businesses and their futures.
