    US-trained physician turned researcher and entrepreneur. Graduate of the USC Keck School of Medicine. I was one of 8 medical students selected to participate in the Health, Technology, and Engineering (HTE) program at USC. In this program, I researched telemedicine and the performance of wearable medical technology. So I have a unique knowledge of remote patient monitoring, performance metrics of wearable technology, and overall what is possible in the telemedicine space. Other healthcare experience: I was an intern physician at Loyola University during the COVID pandemic and am currently a Harvard researcher. So I understand the US healthcare system. Also, I am available for medical writing/editing jobs. So whatever your need is, I got you covered!

    Consultant to Fortune 500 clients Campaigns reaching over 100 million views lifetime Over 500 clients consulted Specialty in technology and finance Selling has always been exciting for me, ever since I was tasked with selling chocolate bars for Little League when I was 10 years old. It was like a game, and the rush of getting a YES after so many rejections was fuel to knock on the next door. As I moved into adulthood, I started my first official sales job selling cell phones in a mall kiosk. Having potential customers walking past was a much easier endeavor than knocking on doors. I eventually graduated to selling more advanced products, such as wind turbines, education services, and marketing data. Sales was always enjoyable, and I consistently performed at the #1 position on my teams. However, I saw the limiting nature of sales, as you could only try to sell to a restricted number of people in a day (between 10-100, depending on the type of sale and quality of conversation). The obvious evolution of any salespersons career is marketing, and I knew the transition needed to happen. When transitioning to marketing, I knew the learning curve was going to be much higher than in sales. With 6 years of sales experience under my belt, understanding buyer psychology and buyer experience was a huge advantage. However, learning technical distribution and marketing funnels were more complicated than I had expected. As with everything in life, the more complicated it is, the more I want to master it, and dedicated myself to learning as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Within the first year of transitioning to marketing, I had serviced all of 2 clients, but had spent over 4,000 hours learning the tools of the trade. Going into year 2, I already had an intermediate understanding of marketing. I was able to land my first major client, which was in the cryptocurrency space in the summer of 2017. I was able to help this company raise $14 million USD in extra funds during my tenure and allowed me to grow my knowledge and skills as a marketer. I continued to work with blockchain companies for several years, although my desire shifted towards emerging technology companies. In year 3, I opened a marketing firm to service blockchain specific companies with an emphasis on digital marketing services and PR. At this point, I had reached well over 10,000 hours of experience, making me an expert in marketing. I was able to work with many great companies across multiple industries, giving me insight into the diversity of technology companies, the missions of CEOs from different countries, and the desire to gain users and spread messages across the web. In year 4, I decided to partner with two others to start a fintech company dedicated to the development of fractional ownership of high value assets. While starting out with good intentions, issues with the lead investor lead to the eventual failure and closure of this company. This pushed back my advancement with my marketing firm, which I had shut down to focus solely on this venture. In year 5, it made sense to learn from past mistakes to develop a marketing firm that works well for clients, allows for scalability and focuses on a combination of excellent creatives distributed with advanced marketing technology. I focused on servicing clients in a consulting capacity only while I work out all issues with deployment of my new marketing firm. We are now in year 6, and I will be launching my full service technology marketing firm soon. In the meantime, I am open to working with technology and finance clients only that have excellent products and good business models to bring in new clients, sell more products, and have a growing user base. My services focus on go-to-market strategies and investor focused marketing plans. These are high level plans and I do not provide partial plans, even on client request. Depending on the company, I am available to deploy campaigns as well.

    Venture Capitalists typical take no more than 3 minutes and 20 seconds reviewing Seed or Series A pitch decks. In less than 4 minutes, you need to get their attention and get them to engage. While all successful pitch decks reflect the uniqueness of the companies they may portray, my proven approach follows a concise structure designed to hook their attention quickly and increase the likelihood of raising money. What do VCs typically expect to see? First, read or re-read the templates from Sequoia and Y/C Combinator. That’s an excellent start. The good and bad news about these well-written templates? Well, everyone uses them, so following them word for word is not enough to stand out with a unique voice. To stand out, I will make sure that you answer clearly and succinctly such questions as: Is your company purpose disruptive, easy to understand and memorable ? Is the opportunity big enough to get VCs to keep reading? Is it clear why this problem/opportunity is timely–why now? Is it clear that this is THE cohesive team to execute the vision–why you? Does your traction faithfully reflect the state of the product/company? Can you make this a profitable business and how/when? Did you articulate how you solve a big industry pain in a way that your competitors cannot? Does the monetization plan mirror the product plan? Do you have clarity about fundraising requirements/use of proceeds? Can you credibility articulate an exit strategy? This is not the full recipe, but you get the idea. If you are in deeptech fields, I have additional questions that address regulatory approvals, traction with clinical trials and portrayal of the origin of the technology/IP. My firm, Montfort Ventures, help founders fundraise more efficiently. With a keen eye on targeting the right investors, I will save you time by getting to a “yeah or neah” more quickly. How do we do it? Phase One - Initial Strategy & Feedback Review project parameters and fundraising goals Laser in on current fundraising pain points Deliver a slide by slide pitch deck review based on stated goals Written feedback from a seasoned venture capital advisor Receive ongoing mentorship for our revenue advisors, who help founders implement strategies to increase traction numbers Phase Two - Creative Enhance your startup’s narrative with our team of creative advisors to ensure a powerful and compelling story is woven throughout your deck Our exclusive agency partnership with Vancouver based Workshop Film Company allows us to access world class talent to insure your pitch deck and all creative investment material stand hand and shoulder over your competitors.

Part Three - Investment Outreach Planning Receive personalized email templates & an elevator pitch blurb geared towards attracting investors during initial outreach and follow up Our team of researchers will use the most up to date data from sources such as Crunchbase Pro & Pitchbook to compile a bespoke list of targeted investors active in your industry & investment stage Receive curated investor lists, including contact information delivered via Airtable.
