Seep Gulati
Founder
Verified
Seep Gulati is the visionary founder of the Underdog Club - A community rooted in the philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family) for anyone who has ever felt lost, unseen, or left behind.For most of my life, I tried to fit in. It never worked. No matter what I did, I stood out. Eventually, I stopped fighting it.
I accepted being the misfit, the black sheep, and the one who chooses what is right over what is popular.
I am officially done shrinking myself to make others comfortable.My darkest seasons didn’t break me; they revealed my purpose. Out of that clarity, the #UnderdogClub was born.
This is a safe space for anyone running low on hope, you can borrow mine. Our mission is simple: to lift each other up and guide you from zero to hero through genuine, personal support.
Having hit rock bottom multiple times myself, my life is a long list of things going wrong. I will happily tell you the whole story over a strong flat white.
This startup is the culmination of everything I have to offer the world. By blending my background in software engineering, cybersecurity, digital marketing, advertising, branding, mass communication, and Public Relations with my qualifications as a mental health first aider, we are uniquely equipped to support you.
Whether you need emotional support, healing therapies, event management, startup pitch feedback, personal branding, or interview prep, supporting community we show up for each other.
We are building a powerful network that funds community mental health initiatives and stands by you when it matters most.
Join us for our official Melbourne launch. Let’s grow, support, and rise together.

Tia Sorensen
Chief of Staff

I’m a senior executive operations and customer leader with 20+ years of global experience partnering with founders, CEOs, boards and leadership teams to bring clarity, momentum and execution to complex businesses.
My career spans high-growth startups, scale-ups and public companies across technology, financial services and enterprise SaaS. I’ve worked at the intersection of executive support, customer success, operations and GTM, acting as a trusted right-hand to leaders who need someone commercially minded, calm under pressure, and deeply execution-focused.
I specialise in:
• Executive & founder support (CEO office, board prep, investor comms)
• Chief of Staff & executive operations
• Customer success & post-sales strategy
• GTM and internal operating cadence
• Product & operational alignment
• High-stakes communications and stakeholder management
I’ve led and supported organisations through scale, transformation, funding events, restructures, and rapid growth — building systems, teams and rhythms that actually work in the real world.
I’m known for being strategic but practical, highly trusted by leadership, and able to step in quickly to stabilise, organise and move things forward. Whether you need short-term executive cover, a fractional Chief of Staff, or an experienced operator to untangle complexity, I bring immediate impact with minimal hand-holding.
