Talent was never the problem.
Access was.
BYOQ is a sales and growth consulting firm built for minority founders in tech. We help founders find the right sales motion, build the infrastructure behind it, and lead growth with more clarity, structure, and confidence.
Because your funding shouldn’t be your sales experiment.
Why BYOQ exists
Minority founders are not short on vision, ambition, or ability. What is often missing is equal access to experienced networks, proven systems, and strategic guidance.
Too many founders are expected to build while learning every expensive lesson themselves. They hire before the process is ready. They invest in tactics before validating the strategy. And when growth stalls, the founder and the team are left carrying the cost.
BYOQ was created to change that.
We give founders access to the sales experience, structure, and support they need to make stronger decisions before expensive guesses become expensive mistakes.
Our mission
To help minority founders build sustainable companies by giving them access to experienced sales strategy, practical systems, and leadership grounded in real execution.
We do not believe in growth at any cost. We believe in building intentionally, treating people well, and creating a sales foundation that can support what comes next.
Built from experience
BYOQ was founded by Chandni Bansal, a sales and GTM leader with more than 10 years of experience across startups and enterprise sales.
Through founding and early-stage sales roles, Chandni has helped companies enter new markets, build sales playbooks, develop outreach systems, create enterprise pipelines, and turn early sales activity into repeatable strategy.
Her experience includes building pipelines and relationships with organizations including Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Atlassian, GoDaddy, and Seismic.
BYOQ brings that experience to founders who deserve access to more than generic advice. They deserve a partner who understands how strategy translates into execution.
What “Queen” means
“Be Your Own Queen” is not about gender.
A queen represents ownership, strategy, and the power to move with intention. It means refusing to wait for permission, access, or a seat at someone else’s table.
BYOQ is for minority founders who are ready to build on their own terms and create opportunities for others as they grow.
You bring the vision. We help you build the kingdom.
Our values
Integrity
We tell the truth, even when the answer is not the easiest one to hear. Our recommendations are based on what the business needs, not what creates more work for us.
Intentionality
Every action should have a reason behind it. We prioritize the right buyers, systems, and opportunities instead of chasing activity for the sake of activity.
Excellence
Our work should be clear, practical, and built to be used. We hold ourselves to a high standard because our clients are trusting us with their vision, teams, and funding.
Access
Knowledge becomes more powerful when it is shared. We create access, use it, and bring others with us.
For minorities, by minorities.
We understand what it means to build in rooms that were not designed with you in mind. That experience shapes how we listen, how we advise, and how we partner.
