I help founders cut through the noise to achieve Product-Market Fit, acquire their first 100,000 users/100 B2B customers, build high-velocity go-to-market engines, and execute early-stage fundraising with conviction. Scaling a startup comes down to three operational levers: establishing product-market fit (PMF), executing a scalable GTM motion, and securing strategic capital/processes when you're ready to accelerate growth. I test and refine these operational frameworks across my current ventures: • Gildre & Roamli: As Co-Founder of Gildre, I built an invite-only knowledge community acting as an on-demand operating system for ambitious founders. Prior to Gildre, I co-founded Roamli in 2017 to help organizations launch interactive engagements at scale, initially on the B2C side growing to 80,000 users before converting to B2B post-Covid. • Exits & Operator Track Record: I’ve launched global digital products and executed two strategic exits across the retail and entertainment sectors. • Venture & Advisory: As a Venture Partner, Limited Partner (Pre-Seed/Seed across B2B Software, FinTech, Consumer, CPG, Frontier Tech), and SaaS Board Advisor, I evaluate deal flow and guide early-stage companies through product-led growth (PLG) execution. When I meet with founders we have an active working session designed to audit your operational bottlenecks and leave you with clear tactical next steps based on your 30/60/90 day focusess. What we can execute together in a session: • Customer Acquisition & Funnel: Teardown of your acquisition channels, PLG onboarding, messaging, and sales scripts to land your first 100 B2B clients or scale to 100k users. • GTM & Distribution Strategy: Refining your market positioning, pricing strategy, and activation loops to increase conversions and accelerate ARR growth. • Fundraising Readiness: Slide-by-slide pitch deck review, narrative sharpening, investor positioning, and data room prep for Pre-Seed and Seed rounds. • PMF & Operational Frameworks: Mapping out your true north metrics, user retention loops, and product roadmaps to solve bottlenecks and scale past early friction.
