Venture Capital Advisor/ Investment Banker/ Investor Pitching Expert
$150.00/hr
I have been in private equity/ venture capital for the past 25 years. I worked for several years with BDC Capital, a $3 billion venture capital fund. Companies that I have been directly involved in have raised over $200M of venture capital and have achieved exits of $1.6 billion.
I love working with very early stage companies. I provide a lot of value in getting your business ready for investment. I will offer very blunt feedback and help you position your company for success. I can provide feedback on the business plan, presentation, etc. In exceptional cases I can make introductions to investors that I believe will have a high likelihood of investing.
I have been honored for my achievements. I have been a Business Pitch Judge at the prestigious Rice Business Plan Competition and Banff Venture Forum. I have also judged several international Pitch Competitions.
I advise technology companies all over the world. I also act as a consultant on operational issues. I have also completed a few turnarounds as well. My services include:
- Winning pitch decks
- Financial Models - forecasting, analysis, problem solving
- Investor pitch decks, strategy and identification of appropriate investors..
- Business planning and Strategic Consulting (business plan writing, business development, strategic
analysis, marketing plan, market entry strategies)
- Company valuation, Mergers and Acquisitions and Due Diligence, Value Creation Plans
- Inbound Private Equity - helping companies respond with a strategy on how they will invest the funds
- Venture Capital Funds
- Expert Witness for a BC Supreme Court Trial
- Chief Financial Officer (CFO) - interim and mentoring
- Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
- Market Research
My knowledge of what works allows me to help you avoid common mistakes and proactively positions you to answer the tough questions.
I want to give back and help others succeed. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals and dreams!
