Founder, based in London

Muhammad Tayyab Shabbir

Founder of Avvale. Co-author of a physics textbook at 20. Finalist, Global Innovator Awards 2026.

I write business plans, financial models and visa business plans for founders, and I hold the UK Innovator Founder visa myself, assessed and passed by UK endorsing bodies twice.

Who I am

I grew up in Kuwait, where my parents worked, and at 17 I moved to the UK alone to read physics at University College London.

Between 2018 and 2020 I was one of six UCL students who co-wrote a textbook with Prof Mario Campanelli. Classical Mechanics: A professor-student collaboration was published by the Institute of Physics in 2020, when I was 20, presented at CERN, and is now prescribed reading at UCL.

I co-founded my first startups as an undergraduate and pitched a venture capitalist in person in London at 18. In April 2023 I founded Avvale Ltd. Today Avvale writes business plans, financial models, feasibility studies, pitch decks and visa business plans for founders, and I run it from London.

On the route

Assessed and passed by UK endorsing bodies twice. I write visa business plans as someone who has had to meet the same standard.

Speaking

Four talks I am available to give

I have spoken at the CERN Library's online book presentation and been interviewed on PTV Home and on a monthly founders' podcast. Available for conferences, founder communities and university audiences.

Invite me to speak
  1. Build your own door

    Building and growing a UK company while going through the visa process, and what it taught me about momentum.

  2. The textbook we wrote at 20

    How a professor and six undergraduates co-wrote a physics textbook that UCL now prescribes.

  3. What endorsing bodies look for

    The Innovator Founder route from two angles: as an applicant who passed twice, and as the writer of other founders' plans.

  4. The numbers investors check

    Why founders' forecasts fail diligence, and the validation discipline that fixes it.

Work with me

Two brands, one practice

Plans, models and studies for founders, written to survive the scrutiny of endorsing bodies, lenders and investors.
