Hey There! I am an experienced Business / Finance professional born and raised in Sydney, Australia. I'm tertiary qualified having received a Bachelor of Business Majoring in Finance. I've worked with world renowned companies earning +$100 million in revenue per year and have helped Private Equity businesses to produce quality Business Modeling & Business Analysis. You probably have a great idea for your business and have the drive that's required to make it successful - but do you really understand all the intricate parts that go into properly planning and running a business? Here's the thing: No one can be an expert at everything, running and growing a business takes multiple different skill sets that are just impossible for one person to know. Whether it's Financial Modeling, Market Research, Business Writing or Financial Projection, the skills required to prepare your business for success are intricate and hard to come by. Benjamin Franklin once said "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”, and if there's one person you should listen to it's probably Benjamin Franklin. Are you confident that you - all by yourself - have the skills to make your business successful? Do you understand proper Business Planning & Strategy? Okay! Think of me as your guiding light! Don’t just take my word for it, take a look at my glowing reviews below from my past clients on Upwork. Whether you need Venture Capital Consulting, Startup Consulting or just a Researcher to help better understand the market, reach out to me today and let's have a quick call about your business or project!

Hey! I'm an experienced startup founder, adept in low cost problem solving and scaling businesses. I consider myself a generalist and a builder, I love working with early stage businesses with unique and broad problems. I now work as an VC Investor with Antler the worlds most active early stage VC. I specialise in Pre-Seed and Seed companies and can help you with pitch deck presentation, grill sessions, GTM strategies and general advice for early stage startups. As an investor i've seen hundreds of pitches, decks and businesses and seen over 30 deals done during my time at Antler. As a founder, I bootstrapped an Airbnb management company that spanned 8 cities and managed hundreds of properties in 3 years. I grew the company from $0 to 3.5m in revenue in 3 years with no funding to eventually sell to our biggest competitor. I can help you overcome challenges in your business with cost effective solutions, ideate business strategies and solutions and provide an experienced and thoughtful point of view whilst providing practical advice. Separately to my career working in Startups I have a very deep interest in Bitcoin, Investing, Macroeconomics and the global financial system. Although I consider myself a "Bitcoiner" I've also deeply exposed myself to the wider crypto world and have been "trading the metagame" since 2016. I have a very good understanding of the ecosystems, cultures and trends of "crypto" as this has been my major interest, hobby and money maker for the last few years. Before working for myself the last 7 years I worked predominately in Sales as a Sales Manager for various startups. FAQ: Q: *If you're so good at what you do why are you on this platform?* A: I've taken 2.5 years off work and feel that I need to keep the tools sharp. I feel that I can help people and frankly you can't just sit at the beach and do nothing forever. So I'm on here for a challenge really. Additionally I want to prove to myself that I can generate another income stream completely seperate to what I've done in the past, and I like the sound of being a freelancer. Q: *Someone with your experience should be charging much more" A: Yes, I know but you have to start somewhere and I'll be raising my rates once I build a profile with some great reviews. Cheers, Joel
