Erik Alfonso Nilsen, PhD, is a battle-tested scientific, business & technology consultant with 25+ years of entrepreneurial & small-to-medium business experience. Over the past few years, an increasing number of venture capital (VC) & private equity (PE) firms have hired Erik to perform technology, cyber & other due diligence for prospective portfolio companies (startups), prior to making investment decisions; the experiences have allowed him to better understand key factors considered. If you are looking for a sought-after startup consultant who can help you develop, including writing/assisting with investor document sets, and execute a winning roadmap & growth strategy, please contact him. Background & Experience Following a long and varied academic career, Erik shifted his focus to industry in the late 1990’s and has since co-founded four companies and served as a consultant for nearly 100 startups & larger firms. His and clients’ businesses have spanned myriad markets, including algorithmic financial trading, fintech, traditional hedge funds, holistic & natural medicine, logistics automation, addiction/treatment centers, nanotechnology, neurotechnology, cybersecurity, biomedical technology/telemedicine, liquor/beer development, drug development (small:pharma & large:biopharma molecules), epigenetics, information technology (IT), legal, luxury home building & real estate development, advertising, new facility construction & services (hotel, semiconductor fab, hospital, golf entertainment, etc.), cybersecurity, web 3/metaverse, NFTs, music & arts industry, large-event planning, law enforcement, military/intelligence operations, healthcare & wellness providers, e-commerce/online marketplaces, telecommunications, medical regulatory/compliance, big data mining & analytics, surveillance & intelligence, robotics, big data analytics, cryptocurrency, medical devices, EdTech, SaaS, public & legal records/documents, and more. In each case, he played a key role in either securing investor funding or accelerating growth, and oftentimes both, the company to profitability and beyond. Erik is known for his persuasive storytelling (writing), clear consistent messaging (branding, marketing), including many successful NSF project pitches and awarded research & SBIR grant proposals (Phase I, II & Fast Track, with & without clinical trials), vision/mission/personal statements/bios, sales/elevator pitches & other letters, including email copywriting with above-average click-through rates (CTR), tech & business savviness, and focused goal-oriented strategic thinking, which has helped him secure funding for his own companies and many other startups & small-to-medium businesses. He is skilled in writing, reviewing, and editing professional investor-ready pitch decks, business plans, blogs, white papers, lite papers (and other marketing/business development documents), executive summaries, cover letters, investor memos, agreements/contracts, and term sheets. He is also the co-author of several non-fiction books and many articles published in peer-reviewed scientific, engineering, math/statistics & medical journals. He has designed clinical trials, including experiment design & statistical methods; he’s able to help respond to journal reviewers’ critical comments & feedback. Erik’s deep understanding of technology, from his many years doing & leading R&D, business, and fundraising makes him an invaluable asset to any small-to-medium company. He has a knack for quickly grasping complex technical concepts and a business’s unique value proposition & market opportunity, prior to developing & executing a strategy that will maximize the chances of success. Erik has 10+ years of experience setting up data rooms. He is available to speak at trade shows & for podcast interviews. Erik has a Ph.D. in Physics, as well as dual Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering & Mathematics/Statistics, and a Master’s in Computer Science. His roles have included Research & Development, Sales, Marketing, Business Development, and Commercialization, including CEO, Executive VP, CTO, Advisor, Board member, Teacher, and Consultant. It can be difficult to convince investors to invest in startups. However, Erik has been successful at helping startups develop & executive strategies and plans for raising funds (advised companies that have secured $474mm+ as of January 2023). Hourly rate is negotiable depending on project size & scope. Discounted daily, weekly & monthly rates are available. Fixed pricing for business plans, pitch decks, or entire investor document sets is available upon request. Fundraising efforts can be billed at a reduced hourly rate plus a tiered 9% to 1% commission structure for secured funds, or some other negotiated hourly rate + % commission combination.
