I help startups build the pitch decks, financial models, and investor materials that actually close funding rounds — from the perspective of someone who evaluates these for a living. I'm a general partner at an early-stage VC firm ($300M+ AUM). I've deployed roughly $150M into startups, advised on another $300M or so, and helped guide multiple portfolio companies to successful exits. I've also raised $25M+ for my own ventures and served as CFO through multiple funding rounds. I've seen more pitches than an MLB catcher, and unlike most consultants, I know exactly what makes an investor lean forward versus reach for the "pass" button. When I build your deck, model, or memo, I'm building it the way I'd want to see it land on my desk. What I Do: Pitch Decks — Strategy-driven, investor-tested decks built on a defensible model and realistic valuation. Not templates. Email decks that stand alone without a presenter. Live decks that land. Financial Models — SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, biotech, hardware. Bottom-up revenue builds, cohort analysis, scenario modeling, unit economics. Clean, auditable, and built to tell a story — not just fill cells. Valuations — DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, VC method. I always show the work and the assumptions. Investor Memorandums & Business Plans — Compelling narrative with proper disclosure, based on industry standards and two decades of raising capital. Fractional CFO & Strategic Finance — Capital structure, cap table optimization, term sheet review, fundraising strategy, board prep, and financial operations for startups that need senior finance leadership without the full-time commitment. Coaching & Advisory — Guidance for founders navigating fundraising, financial strategy, or "why is my investor ghosting me" territory. My clients range from pre-seed founders building their first deck to Series C companies refining their strategy. If you're passionate about your idea but a cap table makes your eyes glaze over, or you need someone who can pressure-test your model before investors do — let's talk. Send me a message with what you're working on and I'll let you know how I can help.
