I’ve reviewed 1000s of startup decks, 10+ years of experience in VC in USA in various roles: VC Partner, Head of Investor Relations, 2x founder. I think like an investor, structure like a consultant, write like a strategist, design like a pro. I work with VC, PE funds, startups and businesses of all stages on: 🔴 Sharpening and writing investor narratives that cut through the noise - pitch decks, memos, onepagers and investor materials 🔴 Design that is not decoration. It is hierarchy and intent, and a spark of magic ✨ - Branding, materials design, visual language My CORE PRINCIPLES in investor materials: - Sharp positioning, avoid generics. “Backing exceptional founders who drive innovation” 🤢 must go - Assume people don’t read, they scan. Cut text, use tight bullets, numbers, logos and highlights - Lead with traction, team track record, tangible insights. That is what actually sells My PROCESS: - Materials revision, discovery call with founders - Writing or refining content, iteration-review loops - Polish with professional design after content is set OR - Pitch deck review consultation with honest, practical feedback. Book in my profile 🔴 I maintain relationships with VCs, debt lenders, and family offices and selectively refer aligned deal flow. I am a registered broker-dealer in the USA. I can also lead your fundraising / investor relations if we align. About me: - founder at prophet.partners, investor relations studio - Ex-VC partner at Starta VC & accelerator in NYC ($50M AUM across fund I, fund II, 150+ portfolio companies) - Harvard University: Management in Innovation & Technology executive program - VC Lab: fundraising program for emerging VC fund managers Expertise in: VC, funds, B2C, B2B, SaaS, Consumer, DTC, hardware, apps, deeptech AI, PE deals, venture credit, real estate and more Let’s connect, I’d love to hear your story and see how I can add value.

Most writers can put words on a page. Very few understand the room the words are walking into. I do. I served as Chief of Staff and Communications Director to the Global Chairman of a private equity firm - operating across New York and Dubai, writing for boardrooms, governments, and principals who have no tolerance for anything less than exact. Before that, I spent years at the highest levels of American political life - advising at the executive level, supporting presidential and Senate-level campaigns, and building coalitions that moved initiatives and outcomes at national scale. I've ghostwritten for executives, public figures, and athletes. I've built pitch decks that secured investments. I've written speeches delivered on national stages. I've crafted narratives for international institutions and brands that needed to sound like they belonged in rooms they were still trying to enter. What I actually do: I take what you're trying to say - your pitch, your vision, your ask - and I make it land the way it was meant to. Pitch decks. Speeches. Executive ghostwriting. Proposals. Long-form thought leadership. High-stakes communications of any kind. I'm not a typical Upwork hire. I'm what you bring in when the stakes are real and the writing has to be right. Bilingual - English and Spanish, native level. Available globally. If you've read this far, you already know whether we're a fit.

I build investor-ready and transaction-ready materials for founders, funds, family offices, private companies, and operators preparing for important capital moments: pitch decks, CIMs, business plans, financial models, lender packages, investor memos, board materials, and strategic partner decks. I’m an Expert-Vetted freelancer on Upwork, ranked in the Top 1%, with work that has helped clients raise over $150 million in capital and support more than $2.7 billion in enterprise value. That work has contributed to two $1B+ fintech platforms and several companies now valued at over $200 million. Most of my work comes down to one thing: helping smart teams turn complex businesses into clear, credible materials that investors, lenders, buyers, boards, and strategic partners can actually use to make decisions. Over the past several years, I’ve built across three ventures: a direct-to-consumer athletic apparel subscription brand, a mobile fintech startup, and my consulting practice. I also served as Chief Executive Officer of AgentLoop, an investor-backed global PropTech company reimagining the home-buying experience. Before building on my own, I completed Robert W. Baird’s leadership rotational development program inside one of the country’s leading middle-market investment banks. The program placed me across more than 20 functions of the firm, giving me a practical understanding of how capital markets organizations operate across divisions, from investment banking and fixed income to fund management, private equity, private wealth, operations, research, and business development. That experience gave me a direct view into how capital moves, how sophisticated financial institutions make decisions, and how institutional-quality materials need to be structured. I bring that investment-bank rigor into every investor and transaction document I build: clear narrative, disciplined financial logic, rigorous process, and materials built for serious decision-makers. I work with companies and investors across AI, fintech, PropTech, SaaS, marketplaces, e-commerce, luxury mobility (hybrid/electric hypercars, eVTOLs, eJets), regulated industries, sustainability, education, and consumer brands. My projects have included AI-enabled fintech business plans, pitch decks for luxury mobility platforms, capital-raising materials for e-commerce and cannabis companies, market research for major digital music streaming platforms, and strategic documentation for funds, founders, and portfolio companies. I operate across three global hubs: Spain in the European Union, Colombia in Latin America, and New York City in the U.S. That gives me a practical vantage point across major capital, innovation, and cross-border business corridors, especially for companies building with international investors, customers, partners, or expansion plans in mind. In practice, I help clients with: ✅ Confidential Information Memorandums / CIMs ✅ Investor pitch decks and fundraising decks ✅ Business plans and executive memos ✅ Financial models and valuation support ✅ Private placement and capital-raising materials ✅ Lender packages and SBA financing materials ✅ Board decks, investor updates, and IC-style memos ✅ Strategic partner decks and transaction narratives ✅ Market research and competitive analysis My process was shaped through founder/operator experience, close collaboration with Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A investors across New York City and Silicon Valley, and the analytical discipline of a mid-market investment banking environment. I focus on building materials with strong positioning, clean financial logic, credible assumptions, disciplined design, and the precise information investors, lenders, acquirers, and committees need to make decisions. Clients have used my work to secure funding from: ✅ Private investors and global investment syndicates ✅ Venture capital firms and private equity funds ✅ SBA-approved lenders, traditional banks, and alternative financing institutions ✅ Friends, family, angels, and strategic capital partners Beyond the deliverables, I care about being the kind of partner founders and investors want in the room when the stakes are real. Please work with me if: ✅ You value a premium, investor-ready product ✅ You want thoughtful strategy, not just task completion ✅ You appreciate prompt, high-quality execution ✅ You communicate clearly and stay engaged throughout the process ✅ You understand that strong fundraising and transaction materials require real thinking, not shortcuts I hold an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a degree in International Business and Marketing from Marquette University, and completed financial planning education through Northwestern University. Outside of work, I train in Mixed Martial Arts, read across philosophy, history, investing, and business, and travel often. I speak and write fluently in English and Spanish.
