About Unpacked Labs

Rahul Kulkarni is the founder & managing partner of Unpacked Labs. He’s an investor, former founder, and product leader with 15+ years building software. He spent 4+ years at Shopify as one of its first product managers, was Head of Product at Wecasa in Paris, and the first product exec hire at Nacelle. Earlier, he co-founded TrendRadius (acquired by Intelex in 2015), and built product at Microsoft, SAP, and Remote.

“I started Unpacked Labs to do for other founders what I wish someone had done for me earlier: show up early, roll up our sleeves, and stay for the long haul.”

Entrepreneurship is rarely linear. It demands resilience, adaptability, and constant curiosity about what comes next. We’re here to support you through all of it.

With every cheque comes an operator. As former founders and operators ourselves — ex-Shopify and ex-Microsoft builders — we roll up our sleeves wherever we can help most: finding product-market fit, building from 0 → 1, refining pricing and packaging, and helping build the Product Development team around you.

We write pre-seed, seed, and Series A checks into B2B SaaS, Commerce Stack, Future of Work, and Climate Tech startups across North America and Europe.
