Austin W.

Lifelong entrepreneur, having built and scaled 3 successful startups, raised over $10M in venture capital, and sold my first company for 8-figures at age 25. I’m a coach and builder at heart - I love rolling up my sleeves and using my experience to help you get to the right answers faster. I’ve coached 50+ founders on product, design, growth, marketing, analytics, fundraising, consumer retention, and enterprise sales. Some of my highest leverage strengths are: ✅ FUNDRAISING: having built over 100 pitch decks and successfully pitched Sequoia Capital, a16z, Greylock, Benchmark, Accel, and many other Tier 1 VC's in the Silicon Valley. ✅ STORYTELLING: crafting your brand positioning, product marketing, features/benefits, and distilling your message to resonate with your core persona. ✅ PRODUCT: building a product development lifecycle, hypothesis-driven development and iteration, working cross-functionally to ensure design, engineering, marketing, are all aligned on moving your key metrics forward. ✅ GROWTH: built several consumer web/mobile apps, notably scaling to >1M users and >4M unique monthly transactions through both organic and paid-led growth strategies. ✅ STARTUP INFRASTRUCTURE: building the foundational processes to enable growth, including your performance marketing (e.g. Meta ad accounts), product analytics (e.g. Segment/Amplitude), financial models, bookkeeping, sales funnels, cap tables, etc. Currently CEO of Perspective, a rapidly growing AI startup based in San Francisco backed by many notable VC’s and angel investors.
