    I am a 3-time entrepreneur and seasoned start-up operator with over two decades of experience spanning digital marketplaces, mobile, fintech, and AI. I was on the founding team and led business development at Classifieds2000 (acquired by Excite), one of the first 2-sided marketplaces on the web. Nearly a decade later, I co-founded Soundflavor (acquired by Ricall), an early AI-powered music recommendation engine. In 2016, I founded Hundy, a mobile-only, P2P micro-lender, with the goal of making an affordable financial cushion available to anyone who is creditworthy. I have a rich background in tech and a passion for mentoring and nurturing pre product-market-fit startups. Some of the areas I can help with are: - Assistance with refining your business model, developing strategy, and shaping your long-term vision. - Identify potential markets, devise customer acquisition strategies, and guide your customer & product development processes. - Offer advice and guidance in raising capital including helping you prepare for investor pitches, understanding your startup's valuation, and effectively managing discussions with investors. In addition, I also enjoy working as an individual contributor wearing many hats to help get the business off the ground. The website, customer service, operations, HR and accounting are all areas I'm accustomed to covering. I can also help hire the team to take over these roles as the company grows. I love working with early stage startups and always keep the following in mind: all great businesses started small.. and business is all about momentum.
