I LAUNCH ventures. I’m a Strategist, Impact Innovator, Thought Partner and Coach. I'm agile, both a thinker and doer, and seamlessly flow among levels to fill the gaps between vision and execution: • 30,000 feet: innovative strategy and tenacious creativity • 10,000 feet: management planning and tactical leadership • Boots on the ground: tangible, iterative action; bring it to life. -- My Super Powers: I unlock potential (in people and ideas) by harnessing the power of the two F's: FINANCE + FEELINGS. I joke that I’m a cross between BRENÉ BROWN... • Sharp, relatable (and sometimes comedic) analysis of our social psychological dynamics at play in any interaction, individually and collectively in our organizations, for the purpose of empowering, coaching, and journeying WITH you. AND SHARK TANK... • Business savvy and tenacious strategic creativity to bring entrepreneurial and financial solutions to life through innovative early-stage investment, business development, and landscape analysis. -- CORE INDUSTRIES: • Impact Investing (values-aligned investment strategy) • Social Enterprise (entrepreneurship, new initiative launch) • Catalytic Philanthropy (creative funding models for social impact) • Financial Sustainability (business modeling, development strategy) -- HOW I CAN HELP YOU: An overview of the hats I can wear to take you from idea through launch, from concept to tangibility, or from good to even better. I serve those DEPLOYING ASSETS (impact investors, foundations, family offices, etc.) and those BUILDING SOLUTIONS (start-up entrepreneurs, social enterprises, non-profit executives, visionary individuals, etc.). 1) EXECUTIVE STRATEGY COUNSEL Leadership can be lonely. With C-Suite expertise and being an innovative entrepreneurial thinker, I can be your executive sounding board and coach. 2) LAUNCH STRATEGIST Starting something new (program, initiative, venture)? I can turn that idea into action, and get the ball rolling. Now. 3) FINANCIAL IMPACT & INVESTMENT STRATEGIST Do you have capital that you want to activate toward a cause? I can help you get started or navigate the menu of creative financial structures. 4) PITCH COACH I’ve been a seed stage investor and vetted over 600 global enterprises across sectors in one year alone. I can demystify behind the curtain in investors’ and funders’ minds. -- Some of my NOTABLE VENTURES: • Currently building a community venture accelerator and funding platform in my hometown of Atlanta with an intentional focus on low-income entrepreneurs, especially single mothers. • Co-founded a $5.5 Million global impact investment portfolio with a focus on empowering underserved women--including the investment thesis, social impact thesis, global pipeline across 5 continents, virtual due diligence process, and post-investment advisory for a private foundation seeking to deploy direct private investments of up to $250,000 USD across multiple sectors and emerging markets. In one year alone, I recruited and vetted over 600 global ventures for investment consideration. This portfolio continues running today by my co-founder and makes early-stage investments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. • Founding team and program creator for a high-profile public-private partnership between the U.S. and Japanese governments and private industry following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake to revitalize the region hit by the devastating tsunami. This partnership and its programs continue today with high-level access on Capitol Hill, the Japanese Parliament, and among Fortune 500 companies. -- MORE ABOUT ME: I’m committed to empowering human potential, my own included. I’m a natural connector and catalyst, of people and ideas. From my own journey, I can relate to the deep satisfaction, self-confidence, and societal good that arises when you can remove the blockers (whether emotional, logistical, or financial) to being able to express the compassion that lives in your heart tangibly out in the world. Whether struggling to scale your business, tackling a need you see in your community, or aligning your financial capital with your personal values and interests, all these paths begin with caring about something enough to want to try to help. I can help you convert that feeling of CARE into effective ACTION. I thrive in navigating the ambiguity and risk (and exciting possibility) at the early stages of launching new programs, product lines, businesses, investment deals, and career/industry pivots. With my deep compassion for helping others (Enneagram #2) and tenacious strategic creativity, I want to journey with you to catalyze your ideas and impact in the world. -- MY VALUES: My relationships with clients are like all relationships I cherish in my personal life, built on trust. I value integrity, authenticity, transparency, deep listening, and self-awareness. If I’m not the right person to help you, I’ll do my best to point you elsewhere.

👉 🎉Recent Client Successes: A BIG UPDATE and Congratulations to my client Continuum AI for closing their $4.1M Seed round with Cowboy Ventures leading. Previously Continuum oversubscribed their pre-seed round in under 90 days. Nice work team! SUREPASS just closed their $2M Seed round. Congratulations to the team for bringing that round to a close. 👏👍 And, congratulations to several of my other clients for recently closing their funding rounds. DeepCharge was accepted into and completed the MassChallenge venture accelerator. Alleo AI and Equility recently were funded by and completed their TechStars cohorts. 👏 With 25 years in the startup ecosystem as both an advisor and a founder (2 successful exits, 3 soul-crushing failures), I have a deep understanding of the hurdles and challenges that founders face when trying to launch and raise capital. My commitment? To arm entrepreneurs with the tools and insights needed to see around corners, navigate the inevitable obstacles, and take their products to market. Founders come to me because they are raising their pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding rounds. I work with them in three key ways: --- 1. INVESTOR DECKS—I have created thousands of investor decks, and I understand exactly how to craft a story that addresses the motivations of early-stage angels and VCs. I emphasize a key lever missing in 99.9% of startup decks. --- 2. INVESTOR PLAYBOOK & FUNNEL—Depending on your needs, I will either advise you on exactly how to run a disciplined investor campaign or I will manage the entire campaign on your behalf, freeing you up to launch. --- 3. OR BOTH • Top Rated: I bring a 100% Job Success Score and a Top Talent rating on Upwork, bolstered by hundreds of 5-star reviews and pages of positive comments. • Recent Client Successes: Alleo AI and Equility closed pre-seed funding and completed TechStars. Continuum AI swiftly oversubscribed their seed round in just 90 days, while Alloy topped $1M in ARR within 10 months of launch and closed their seed round. • Scope of Expertise: My work spans thousands of investor-focused assets, including decks, deal memos, and outreach templates across diverse sectors such as B2B SaaS, AI, prop-tech, D2C, retail, deep-tech, hardware, and more. I have facilitated fundraising efforts ranging from $500k pre-seed rounds to $60M Series B ventures. I also have an MBA from the Kelly School and a Certification in Supply-Chain Management from MIT. • Strategic Roles: Previously, I served as the Chief Strategy Officer for a trailblazing IoT company, focusing on equity funding and investor relations. • Previous Exit: Successful start-up founder with 25 years of experience. From 2010 to 2017, I grew an investor-backed B2B SaaS start-up from zero clients to over 130 distribution partners in a dozen countries. We exited in 2017, selling to our largest client. • Network: My connections include angels, VCs and micros, and I’m a vetted mentor with accelerators like TechStars, Boomtown, MassChallenge, and Volta. I've been fortunate in my career to have my work featured and profiled in the media, including the Wall Street Journal, as well as in several books, including best-seller The Customer Funded Business by Dr. John Mullins and Business Results Revolution by Sandy Richardson.

What I bring to the table: ✅Growth Strategies = Get help determining which products/services to invest in, and establish go-to-market strategies, and pricing structures. ✅Capital Acquisition = I work with you to get your business into a posture where it's ready to attract capital from investors and/or lenders. Plus, access my network of over 200+ investors and lenders. I do that by leveraging my eclectic set of experiences and skills, with a background as a former C-level banking executive, 3x startup founder, and Director of Product for a publicly traded company. If this sounds like you, we should talk about how I can help: I don't have enough time in the day to accomplish everything I need to.⏲️ Finance isn't my strong suit. 📊 I don't have the right contacts or network to drive toward closing a round of funding. 💸 I don't have the right experience creating "investor-ready" documents. 📃 I'm unsure what products to build, how to market them, or how to price them. 🎯
