Startup Strategist | Fundraising | Marketing Expert

Hello! Having been part of the startup world in San Francisco for several years, I understand what investors want and need from founders to secure funding. As a Startup Strategist working with a team of experts who have over a decade of experience helping early-stage companies raise more than $230M in funding, I can help you too. Startups are my forte, luxury is my wheelhouse, and retail is in my blood. How does this help you? I have experience and expertise working with B2B, B2C, and D2C companies worldwide, across various stages of business in multiple industries. Through StartupBuddy.net, I’ve helped founders worldwide become investor-ready, whether they’re preparing for their first pitch or gearing up for a significant Series A raise. From pitch decks and business plans to go-to-market strategies and due diligence preparation, we ensure you have everything investors want to see before they even ask. How am I different from everyone else? First, I’m part of StartupBuddy.net, which means you're getting more than just me. You're getting an experienced team - the team I mentioned above who have raised over $230M for other startups - yes, that team. But you also have access to my branding and marketing expertise. That means you’ll be getting a branded pitch deck or a comprehensive brand style guide that exceeds your expectations - and will make investors and crowdfunding platforms swoon. What I deliver: * Pitch decks and business plans that are clear, compelling, and designed to grab investor interest * Due diligence playbooks with access to 130+ videos and templates that get you investor-ready * Financial models with 5-year projections, CAC, LTV, revenue forecasts, and more * Market research and competitive analysis, including TAM, SAM, and trends tailored to your niche * Fundraising strategy across Reg D, 506(b), 506(c) SBA loans, grants, and investor outreach * Messaging and brand positioning that builds trust and resonates with your audience What sets me apart: I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve built brands, coached pitches, and sat across the table from investors. I won’t just hand you a deck; I help you tell your story with clarity and credibility. Bonus: We have direct relationships with leading crowdfunding platforms, including StartEngine, Republic, and WeFunder, which means I can help you meet their standards and expedite your acceptance. Let’s work together to make your startup impossible to ignore. Visit StartupBuddy.net to learn more or message me here to get started. Ready for a chat? Let's do it!
