Background & Highlights
Formerly the Executive Director at Alliance of Angels**, 2x Founder + Operator **👉 I'm not here to be pitched- I don't believe in a "pay to play" scenario. I'm ONLY here as an advisor, not connected to my investing; you'll be meeting with just me- Angie- a real human person who has had many experiences, wins, and losses! I won't tell you what you "should" do. That's not my role. That's not why I'm here. I'm here to BE KIND and HELPFUL and to offer actionable steps and feedback based on ⭐️ my personal experiences ⭐️ and what I've seen firsthand. Fortunately, I've built a career that allows me to live and breathe the world of early-stage startups. ---- On deciding to meet with me: ✅ GO: You're raising capital, building community, or navigating the early-stage startup landscape ❌ NO-GO: You're pitching me or something else funky; if in doubt, don't 🙃 Highlights, Background: • Executive Director at the Alliance of Angels 🪽 200+ Angel Group | $600M+ in Exits | $4–6M/year • 2X Founder & Chief of Staff • Former Air Force Aviator 🪽 • Ops & Marketing at Context VC • UW Alum: Business, Data Science, Info Systems 💛💜🐕 Get the most bang for your buck: • Provide a link to an agenda • Come prepared to talk about your in-depth market research, customer discovery interviews, and how you're using these findings to validate your business model hypotheses, specifically for: 1️⃣ Problem–A single target customer's pain points and mental models 2️⃣ Value Proposition–The value you're delivering (NOT the solution) 3️⃣ Customer Segment–Who exactly are you creating value for/key audience do you seek to serve?
