I’ve helped a bunch of early-stage teams go from ideas and pitch decks to real traction and funding. Over the years, I’ve been involved in $300M+ in transactions across 35 deals (25 VC rounds, 10 angel investments), from pre-seed to Series C. I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid the usual faceplants. If you’re building something in a tricky space - marketplaces, platforms, vertical SaaS/AI - chances are I’ve been around it. I know what early investors actually care about, and I can help you cut through the noise to get the pitch, positioning, and plan right. This isn’t corporate jargon or startup theatre. It’s practical, no-BS support from someone who’s been in both the founder seat and investor chair. Stuff I’m good at: • Marketplaces & network effects (getting the flywheel going) • Fundraising prep and pitch feedback • Explaining complex ideas simply • Helping you sound like the founder investors want to back Book a quick 1:1. Let’s sharpen your story, pressure-test your deck, or just map a smart way forward.
