    👉 🎉Recent Client Successes: A BIG UPDATE and Congratulations to my client Continuum AI for closing their $4.1M Seed round with Cowboy Ventures leading. Previously Continuum oversubscribed their pre-seed round in under 90 days. Nice work team! SUREPASS just closed their $2M Seed round. Congratulations to the team for bringing that round to a close. 👏👍 And, congratulations to several of my other clients for recently closing their funding rounds. DeepCharge was accepted into and completed the MassChallenge venture accelerator. Alleo AI and Equility recently were funded by and completed their TechStars cohorts. 👏 With 25 years in the startup ecosystem as both an advisor and a founder (2 successful exits, 3 soul-crushing failures), I have a deep understanding of the hurdles and challenges that founders face when trying to launch and raise capital. My commitment? To arm entrepreneurs with the tools and insights needed to see around corners, navigate the inevitable obstacles, and take their products to market. Founders come to me because they are raising their pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding rounds. I work with them in three key ways: --- 1. INVESTOR DECKS—I have created thousands of investor decks, and I understand exactly how to craft a story that addresses the motivations of early-stage angels and VCs. I emphasize a key lever missing in 99.9% of startup decks. --- 2. INVESTOR PLAYBOOK & FUNNEL—Depending on your needs, I will either advise you on exactly how to run a disciplined investor campaign or I will manage the entire campaign on your behalf, freeing you up to launch. --- 3. OR BOTH • Top Rated: I bring a 100% Job Success Score and a Top Talent rating on Upwork, bolstered by hundreds of 5-star reviews and pages of positive comments. • Recent Client Successes: Alleo AI and Equility closed pre-seed funding and completed TechStars. Continuum AI swiftly oversubscribed their seed round in just 90 days, while Alloy topped $1M in ARR within 10 months of launch and closed their seed round. • Scope of Expertise: My work spans thousands of investor-focused assets, including decks, deal memos, and outreach templates across diverse sectors such as B2B SaaS, AI, prop-tech, D2C, retail, deep-tech, hardware, and more. I have facilitated fundraising efforts ranging from $500k pre-seed rounds to $60M Series B ventures. I also have an MBA from the Kelly School and a Certification in Supply-Chain Management from MIT. • Strategic Roles: Previously, I served as the Chief Strategy Officer for a trailblazing IoT company, focusing on equity funding and investor relations. • Previous Exit: Successful start-up founder with 25 years of experience. From 2010 to 2017, I grew an investor-backed B2B SaaS start-up from zero clients to over 130 distribution partners in a dozen countries. We exited in 2017, selling to our largest client. • Network: My connections include angels, VCs and micros, and I’m a vetted mentor with accelerators like TechStars, Boomtown, MassChallenge, and Volta. I've been fortunate in my career to have my work featured and profiled in the media, including the Wall Street Journal, as well as in several books, including best-seller The Customer Funded Business by Dr. John Mullins and Business Results Revolution by Sandy Richardson.

I offer strategic and tactical guidance, including systems, tools, and processes to deliver enabling products based on agile development and lean manufacturing principles. I will help to grow your business based on the following differentiators: 1. Communication excellence. I communicate for understanding using clear and concise descriptions (verbal, written, etc., including formal pitches and presentations). 2. Commitment, execution, and over-delivery. Based on my Father's inspiration, I set and meet KPIs and strive to give more than I expect to receive. 3. Responsiveness. I deliver "on-time" results with a high level of efficiency. I achieve these results via the alignment of ALL stakeholders using transparent communications in consideration of ALL inputs. 4. Tenacity and resilience. I do whatever it takes to achieve the desired result. 5. Relational leadership. I naturally employ a relational leader approach predicated on empathy and high emotional intelligence. I approach any challenge "head-on" with an emphasis on improving the situation via direct and respectful communications. I am eager to apply my gifts and skills to solve your challenges and achieve your goals. I will align the strengths of your organization with recommended additions to meet your business needs.
