Sharing Startup Wisdom, One Founder at a Time

 

I Can Help

I’ve been around the startup world long enough to know that the best part isn’t that unicorn exits or even the shiny pitch decks. It’s the conversations—the moments where someone’s vision clicks into place, and they start building something that really matters. For me, this is fun. This is what I enjoy. And if you’re a young or first-time founder trying to figure things out, you’ve just stumbled onto something that might make your journey a little easier.

What I Do (And Why I Do It)

  • Aligning Your Vision
    I’ve met countless founders who, in the rush to build the next big thing, lose sight of why they started in the first place. I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. We’ll sit down (or Zoom, whatever works) and talk about the stuff that matters—your goals, your values, what success looks like for you as a person. Then we’ll figure out how to make sure your company grows in line with that. Think of it as a gut check for your business and your life.

  • Crafting Your Story
    I love decks. I know, it’s weird. But there’s something satisfying about helping someone take a jumble of ideas and turn them into a clear, compelling story that others want to be a part of. If you’ve got a vision but aren’t sure how to present it, I’m your guy. Together, we’ll craft something that’s not just about raising money, but about telling the story you want to tell.

  • Fundraising, Without the Stress
    I don’t raise capital, but I’ve helped a lot of people navigate that maze. I can explain the terms, the trade-offs, the "how much and when" questions. More importantly, I’ll help you think about who you’re bringing on board and why. Because not all money is created equal, and the right investor can make all the difference. But hey, I’m not here to push anything on you. Just to give you the tools to make the best decision for your business.

  • A Long-Term Sounding Board
    Sometimes you just need someone to bounce ideas off of. Someone who’s been there but doesn’t have any skin in the game. I’ll be that person. I’ll listen, give you my two cents, and maybe point you in the direction of someone who can help. And if we’ve been working together for a while, I’ll probably throw in a few connections. But only when it makes sense—no forcing it.

  • I Do This for Fun
    Look, I’m not here for the paycheck. In fact, I usually don’t take one. Sometimes I’ll ask for a few options if I really believe in what you’re building, but that’s it. I do this because I genuinely enjoy it. There’s something deeply satisfying about helping founders find their way, and I’ve got the time and the experience to do it.
