With over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector and a diverse entrepreneurial background, Raj Kapur is a seasoned financial expert, business strategist, and personal development coach.
One of Raj’s most notable entrepreneurial achievements was building a million-dollar revenue business from a shoestring budget. This venture, which started with minimal capital, grew to generate over $1 million in annual revenue for several consecutive years.

Spent years studying wealth-building strategies
Developed a proven system to overcome debt, generate more money...
Paid off $50,000 in credit card debt in just 3 years
When I first arrived in the United States, I had just $20 in my pocket and a dream in my heart. The journey wasn’t easy—I faced financial struggles, carried over $50,000 in debt, and often questioned whether I had what it took to succeed.
But I refused to give up. Through decades of learning, applying, and refining the principles of wealth, leadership, and transformation, I not only turned my own life around—I built multiple successful businesses, created financial freedom, and discovered my true purpose: helping others transform their lives and organizations just as I did.
For over 30 years as a CFO, I’ve guided nonprofits and corporations through financial crisis into sustainability, growth, and impact. I’ve stepped in as Acting CEO, rebuilt dysfunctional teams, and developed strategies that have saved and scaled organizations.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve built and scaled businesses in advertising, marketing, fashion, online retail, and technology—several reaching over seven figures in revenue. Today, through Options Ahead, Inc. and RajKapur.com, I bring all of this expertise together to help nonprofits, corporations, entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants achieve extraordinary results.
