I'm a serial entrepreneur with over eight years in the game, mainly focusing on launching startups while also dabbling in venture capital and private equity. I kicked off a edtech startup that raised $1.2 million in capital before being acquired. I have also worked at a VC fund for a couple of years as an investment analyst. I've been a full-time consultant for three years, teaming up with startups and SMBs. I've assisted hundreds of startups sharpen their fundraising efforts, fine-tune their GTM strategies, refine their business models, and find a clear path to PMF. Impressively, 45% of these startups have successfully raised capital from top-notch investors like Tiger Global, Sequoia, and Y Combinator. When working with startups, my key focus areas include: 👉 I'll be your go-to partner for everything: fundraising, crafting your pitch decks, building financial models, and organizing your data room. I'll also develop an investor pipeline and set up intro calls for you. 👉 I'll put together dashboards and systems to keep track of everything, making sure we capture data at every step. We’ll pinpoint your key metrics and ensure they're trackable. 👉 I'll handle the market research, prepare detailed notes for your pitches, and make sure you're fully prepped to meet with investors. 👉 I'll help you quickly validate your product and business model using proven strategies, saving you from spending months on a product that might not work. 👉 I'll help you craft clear and effective go-to-market strategies, create funnels, develop customer acquisition plans, and set up feedback loops. 👉 I'll develop a dynamic marketing plan and start building an engaging community right from the start. Feel free to reach out with any questions, or if you would like to see sample decks and models. I’m here to help.
