    Quantitative Engineer and USC Graduate (M.S Biostatistics) experienced across the full transaction cycle. I would be happy to help with any aspects of market research, M&A transactions (diligence, modeling, closing items, pitch books), or pitch book creation. I also have extensive experience in ESG and Impact Investing, including company- and portfolio-level implementation, overall advisory, and fundraising. Raising money as a startup is hard work! The amount of collateral required (one-pager, pitch deck, business plan, financial projections) is massive. And if that's not enough the knowledge required to actually approach and close rounds with angels and VCs is another huge hurdle. With 6 years of entrepreneurial experience in startups, I know what investors are looking for when analyzing opportunities. Whether it be a business plan, pitch deck, financial model, or term sheet, I'm here to help you create the collateral that will get investors' attention. You only get one chance to impress an investor, don't waste it! Utilizing these tools improves your chance of fundraising success. I work with my clients to ensure that their investor materials anticipate and address the questions and concerns that investors may present. I have completed pitch decks and fundraising (Pre-Seed to Series D) for over 150 companies including my own funded startups.. I specialize in knowing what accelerators are looking for (Y-Combinator, TechStars, TechCrunch Disrupt, 500 Startups, SOSV). I am an extremely detail-oriented and fast worker. Additionally, I am a growth hacker who can help you acquire and cater to your first users by putting together completely customized marketing plans and helping you execute them out. I specialize in: - Business Consulting - Business Plan Writing - Pitch Decks - One Pagers - Financial Projections - Pre-launch Feasibility Studies - Venture Capital Strategy - Marketing & User Acquisition Plans - Market Sizing - Competitor Analysis. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and helping you on your journey to startup growth and success!
