Hi, I’m Nupur Amin! I’m a negotiation strategist and conflict resolution expert. I help start ups build plans and practices that last.

MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the exciting world of conflict and negotiation in my early undergraduate years. After being consumed by how humans interact in these ways (successfully and unsuccessfully), I designed my own major- a BSc in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution. I then jumped to Harvard Law School, where I was introduced to the Program on Negotiation. Wanting to spend all of my time thinking and talking about only these subjects, I joined their teaching team. Of course, so as to not show too much favouritism to negotiation, I received my mediation licence that same year and began mediating cases in the Massachusetts courts. 

CONFLICT + NEGOTIATION

BUSINESS + LEADERSHIP

THE STARTUP WORLD

BECOMING YOUR COACH

I realized after some time that academia was not for me. I preferred to dip my toes in lots of projects at once, wanting to help solve new kinds of problems day by day. This led me to my time as a consultant at a negotiation and mediation specialty firm. It was everything I wanted it to be. I got to try my hand at coming up with solutions and strategies for big and small organizations alike. Right from academic institutions like Yale and MIT to industry giants like Netflix and Dr. Bronners and start up communities like Greentown Labs. It was in these years that I discovered where the fun truly lay for me. 

Once I’d entered the start up space, there was no going back. Here I was in a sea of brilliant minds, working quickly and tirelessly to put impactful new innovations out into the world. And what did I see? Numerous start ups with terrific technology and unlimited determination falling apart because their founders didn’t have the right support to work through the inevitable conflicts of running a company and the tricky negotiations that await them at every stage. This niche is where I chose to stay. I now get to work with startups in the US, Europe, and Asia as a mediator, coach, and trainer. Together we build tools and systems that help founders and leaders overcome tough moments in their working relationships and have strong strategies for their negotiations.

I am thrilled to join the wonderful Founder to Leader team. If you’re thinking about ways to overcome tensions in your working relationships, want to train yourself or your teams to negotiate more effectively, or want a shared toolkit for leaders to rely on- let’s chat! If our working styles and outlooks align, we might have a great time working together.
