    Working as a business consultant with 100+ unique non- and for-profit clients has taught me how to effectively develop and communicate the vision of new startups; this experience directly translates to understanding what aspects of a technical writing piece need to be highlighted to entice new investors. I have started three of my own businesses and have helped many other entrepreneurs explore their ideas and then write strategic business plans, curate donor lists, and prepare comprehensive proposals. I have led the writing of concept notes and grants both independently and with multi-million dollar NGOs; written a global comparative analysis for the Timorese Government; and consulted on project design related to everything from food security to plastic recycling. While overseas, I started a nonprofit NGO and raised funding, handled a budget, and organized a 6-day event with over 40 participants in two languages. Throughout all of my work I have excelled at working with new ideas and programs, helping develop ideas into plans, and problem solving to make the visions of others into realities. I like making it happen. As an independent consultant, I plan and organize my work, develop deliverables, and report on my findings to my employer and stakeholders. Throughout all of my work I have proven myself to be self motivated, proactive, and highly organized. I have an engineering degree which allows me to dive deep into technical details; a marketing and entrepreneurship business background which allows me to handle the financial operations; and non-profit grant writing experience which allows me to interact with the government and donors sectors effectively. I was a branch manager for a marketing company and produced 13% growth in sales over my term. This marketing background provides me the perspective necessary to attract investors and address their unspoken concerns directly. I am excited at the prospect of working where I can utilize my big picture and detail oriented thinking while building long term relationships. I would enjoy the opportunity to discuss how my research and implementation experience would directly benefit your business.

    Are you trying to raise money from investors, VC’s, angels or private equity funds? Are you having a hard time securing the funds you need to take your business to the next level? You’re not alone. Like many entrepreneurs, you know your idea is great and you know you’re ready to get to the next stage, but you also know you need investment to propel things forward. But angels, investors, VC’s - none of them know you, they’ve never heard of your company before, and they probably know very little about the market you’re in. It’s a quandary nearly every one of my past clients has been in. But with a focus on outcomes and deep expertise across areas such as marketing, finance, sales and operations – to name just a few – I can help you engage and connect with investors, fast. “One of my to-to guys, Chris is rock solid and works smart, which makes for exceptional value.” I’ve worked with companies across a wide variety of sectors, including SaaS, Health and Fintech, and I’ve helped companies just like yours get funded and take their businesses to the next level. I’ve been there myself – I started my own company and took it to $12M in revenue and a team of over 40. My focus nowadays is on making sure businesses just like yours are prepared. That means equipping you with: 1) A compelling story that will engage investors on their level. 2) An analytically-sound pitch deck, financial model and business plan that will back up your narrative and ensure you tell a robust, seamless and comprehensive story. “I came to Chris because I was stuck and knew I needed to reach out to another professional for help. I wanted to think I was doing everything right, but Chris came in and helped me see my company from another angle. He invested his time and energy into my business as if it were his own. Never in a million years would I have imagined so much improvement could be seen in such a small amount of time.” If you’re looking to take that next step, then let’s chat. Let’s figure out a way for you to achieve the vision you’ve always dreamed of.

    Are you an entrepreneur that wants to take it to the next level? 100% of my coaching clients have shared they are more clear, inspired and energized after working with me. Let me help you find your mojo! ⚡︎I can help you if you are struggling with these challenges: ● "I have no idea on how to get started with my startup" ● "Life has been chaotic and I need to get clear on my direction " ● "I don't have the energy or motivation right now to grow my business" ● "I want to get to the next level and I am not sure how to get there" ● "I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I need someone to hold me accountable" ● "HELP! I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do next" I focus on working with entrepreneurs with startups or small businesses. The process: Who are you? You are the main factor in your success. Why should your business exist? A purpose. How do you do things? Something that makes you unique. What do you offer? Your product or service. All success revolves around the answers to these four questions. All failure comes from a lack of understanding these questions. This is my method. It does not matter if you are a startup or an existing business, this is the core of your work and journey. A client had dozens of business ideas, I helped him launch just one. A client stopped chasing 3 different startups and now is an executive in a new business. One client grew from 5 to 50 employees in just two years. Let's get on a call today! We can set up an initial zoom call in a free 30 min consultation and I will explain how my process will get you the results you are wanting.

    My background is primarily in business plan writing, however, I also do pitch decks, marketing work, and have served as the project lead on a Regulation-CF Equity Crowdfund and have gained tremendous experience in running these projects. I have written over 300 business plans for satisfied clients in fields that include Energy, Construction, Marketing, Mobile Apps, Technology Products, and more. Typically, I can turn around a first draft of a business plan in three weeks or less, assuming that we are in lockstep with our communication! I offer plans ranging from fairly basic plans that are about 20 pages in length and made in Microsoft Word to putting together visually impactful and professionally designed plans using Adobe InDesign which, when trying to raise capital from investors, can really highlight the professionalism of your business and attention to detail. I have been responsible for the development and growth of a number of businesses and managed projects within these businesses. I have produced financial models and business plans that assisted in securing investments of more than $1M in seed money for small businesses showing little to no revenue. I have managed projects of for start-up companies, political campaigns/fundraisers, educational consultancies and technology companies. I have consulted with businesses in developing alternate revenue sources and strategically planning pivots in business models. I also produce market feasibility studies for companies, performing in-depth research into a local market, and evaluating the company's overall ability to perform successfully in that market. These studies are typically longer in length and more detailed in scope than a business plan. That said, the synergism between both a comprehensive business plan and a market feasibility study cannot be understated. In terms of crowdfunding work, I have run a Regulation-CF Equity Crowdfund and am familiar with the Reg-A+ Crowdfund as well. I am currently involved in launching other crowdfunding campaigns as well for clients. I have legal resources to deploy in connection with these crowdfunds, but primarily am involved in the marketing and running of campaigns. I'm happy to chat with you over Upwork's communications platform and am eager to work on many different types of projects of varying complexity.
