If you’re here, something important is on the line – an investor funding round, an SBA bank loan, an immigration visa. You need a business plan or pitch deck done right, and you need someone you can trust and count on. That's exactly what I do. I've co-founded, scaled, and exited four multi-million-dollar companies. I've raised tens of millions in private and public capital, led complex due diligence cycles, negotiated with lenders and underwriters, and built highly-productive teams from the ground up. When you hire me to write your business plan or pitch deck, you're getting a impassioned expert with 20 years of experience who will go above and beyond to deliver for you. 1,000+ plans delivered. $250M+ in funding supported. Every document and financial model I create is built to hold up where it matters: under real lender underwriting, investor scrutiny, or USCIS/IRCC review. Business Plans & Financials: ✓ Investor-ready business plans for equity or debt funding ✓ SBA loan business plans (7(a), 504, microloans) built for approval ✓ US immigration business plans for E-2, L-1, EB-1, EB-2, O-1A that are USCIS compliant ✓ Canadian immigration business plans - C11, PNPs, Start-up Visa (IRCC compliant) ✓ UK Innovator Founder Program business plans ✓ Growth & operating business plans ✓ 3 - 5 year financial models with realistic forecasting and KPIs (break-even, DSCR, etc.) ✓ Re-write of AI-generated or underperforming business plans Pitch Decks: ✓ Pre-seed, seed, & Series A decks ✓ Narrative tailored to your raise, stage, & investor audience ✓ Financial slides tied directly to your full model ✓ Design & content Strategy Consulting: ✓ Capital raise positioning & investor readiness ✓ Business model, pricing, & unit economics ✓ Go-to-market & revenue modeling ✓ Valuation guidance & founder advisory Working With Me Is Simple: ✓ One call. A free 15 to 30-minute discovery call - then I handle the research, writing, modeling, & revisions. No endless back-and-forth. ✓ On time. Most plans delivered in 7–14 business days, built around your deadline. ✓ All me. No outsourcing, no AI, no recycled templates. Built from scratch for your specific opportunity, audience, and ask. ✓ Done means done. I don't consider it finished until you're confident walking into the room with it. Industry Experience (Just a Sample): SaaS, apps & marketplaces, restaurants & cafes, retail & franchises, healthcare & wellness, sports facilities & leagues, home services, real estate & finance, Crypto, blockchain, DeFi, logistics & transportation, clubs & nightlife, music & entertainment, hemp-products, automotive, agriculture & food services, education & entertainment, B2B & B2C, early-stage to growth-stage. Getting funded or approved is stressful enough without wondering whether your documents are up to the job. Message me with a bit about your business and your goal - I'll give you an honest read on where you stand. And if I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too. When it matters, you want someone who's done it before. I look forward to speaking with you.

I help nonprofits, small businesses, and government contractors win funding and secure contracts — through proposals that are built to score, not just to submit. Most grant writers hand you a polished document. I build you a winning strategy. Every proposal I write is engineered around the funder's evaluation criteria, scoring rubrics, and priorities — not a recycled template with your name dropped in. ──────────────────────────── WHAT I DELIVER ──────────────────────────── ✅ Federal & Foundation Grant Proposals End-to-end grant writing for federal agencies (grants.gov, SAM.gov), state programs, and private/corporate foundations. Deliverables include needs assessments, program narratives, logic models, evaluation plans, budget justifications, and full compliance documentation. ✅ Government RFP & RFQ Responses Competitive bid writing for federal, state, and local government contracts — structured using the Shipley Method to directly address evaluation criteria, demonstrate past performance, and differentiate your offer from competitors. ✅ Investor & Lender-Ready Business Plans Comprehensive business plans for SBA loans, CDFI funding, angel investors, startup accelerators, and visa applications (E-2, L-1, EB-5). Covers executive summary, market analysis, operations narrative, management team, and full financial projections. ✅ Capability Statements & Company Profiles GSA-ready capability statements built to open doors with federal contracting officers and prime contractors — formatted correctly, keyword-rich, and aligned to your NAICS codes and core competencies. ✅ Financial Projections & Feasibility Studies 3–5 year financial models with revenue build-up, expense forecasting, scenario analysis (best/base/worst case), and market-supported assumptions that withstand investor and funder scrutiny. ✅ Grant Research & Funding Strategy Identification of the right funding opportunities for your organization — federal, state, foundation, and corporate — with a prioritized pipeline and fit assessment before a single word is written. ──────────────────────────── INDUSTRIES I SERVE ──────────────────────────── - Nonprofits & 501(c)3 Organizations - STEM, AI & Workforce Development - Healthcare & Community Health - Construction & Infrastructure - IT & Technology Services - Financial Services - Transportation & Logistics - Social Services & Human Services - Engineering & Environmental Services - Education & Training Organizations ──────────────────────────── HOW I WORK DIFFERENTLY ──────────────────────────── Most freelance grant writers are good at writing.I am trained in how funders and evaluators make decisions — and I build every document backward from that perspective. Here is what that looks like in practice: ✔ I read the full RFP or NOFA before writing a single word —mapping every requirement to a response section ✔ I use the Shipley Method, the gold standard in proposal strategy used by top government contractors worldwide ✔ I conduct a competitor/landscape analysis before positioning your proposal — so your differentiators are real, not generic ✔ I write to scoring rubrics when available, and to implied criteria when they are not ✔ I flag compliance gaps early — missing requirements are the #1 reason strong proposals get disqualified before scoring ✔ I treat your submission deadline as a hard wall — not a suggestion ──────────────────────────── GRANT TYPES I COVER ──────────────────────────── Federal: NIH, NSF, HRSA, HUD, DOL, DOE, USDA, SBA, DOJ, CDC, SAMHSA, AmeriCorps, NEA State: Ohio, Texas, California, New York, Florida (and others — ask about your state) Private: Gates Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson, Kresge, Annie E. Casey, local community foundations, corporate giving programs SBIR/STTR, Community Development, Workforce Development, Housing & Infrastructure, Education & Training ──────────────────────────── WHAT CLIENTS SAY ──────────────────────────── ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Mr. Onu was very professional. His work was top quality." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience — would hire him again." — Grant Writer for 501(c)3, STEM & AI Training Organization ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Showed strong understanding of the project and met the agreed timeline." — Nonprofit Grant Submission Client ──────────────────────────── Ready to stop submitting proposals and start winning them? Send me a message and let's build your path to funded.

The Reality of Building a Startup: Most early-stage founders face a frustrating choice: hire technical developers who don’t understand business models, or business strategists who can't write a single line of code. I bridge that gap. As a Startup Consultant and Full-Stack AI Solutions Architect, I combine data-driven market validation with production-grade engineering. My dual-threat framework ensures that you aren't just building a product-you are building a scalable, fundable, and durable business asset. To date, I have helped early-stage companies collectively raise over $20M in venture capital and secure spots in top-tier accelerators. 🔍 STARTUP STRATEGY & MARKET RESEARCH Before writing code, we must validate your opportunity. I help you de-risk your venture, target high-growth ecosystems (US, Europe, GCC, and KSA Vision 2030 initiatives), and prepare for investor scrutiny: Market Validation & Fit: In-depth market research, competitive intelligence, gap analysis, and user persona mapping. Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy: Formulating bulletproof startup business plans, accelerator applications (Y Combinator standard), and pitch deck strategies. Investor Readiness: Venture-grade financial modeling, SaaS unit economics mapping (LTV, CAC, Churn, ARR), and technical due diligence preparation. 💻 TECHNICAL EXECUTION (AI & Full-Stack Architecture) I engineer production-grade MVPs, scalable backends, and sophisticated AI automations engineered to pass strict technical audits: AI & Multi-Agent Systems: Advanced agentic workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, and CrewAI, alongside custom RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines. Full-Stack Development: Robust, clean backend architectures built with Django, FastAPI, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, paired with interactive React or Next.js frontends. DevOps & Deployment: Containerized environments using Docker, Nginx, and Linux server management for optimal performance and security. Workflow Automation: Custom Python scripting and n8n pipelines to eliminate operational drag and automate business logic. Why Work With Me? VC-Ready Code & Strategy: I know exactly what investors look for during technical and commercial due diligence. I build your product to pass those tests. True Product-Market Fit: I don't just take orders; I consult. If the data shows a feature won't convert or scale, we pivot before burning your capital.

I help B2B companies build content systems that actually generate revenue. Is your website getting traffic (or no traffic) but failing to generate leads? Many businesses invest in SEO or run ads only to send potential customers to a generic page with a "Book a Call" button, which results in low conversion rates. I solve this problem by building a complete system that converts cold traffic into qualified, sales-ready leads.

You’ve built a strong founder-led business — but growth is still running through you. I help scaling founders remove founder dependency, build operational capacity, and create the business architecture needed to grow without chaos. As a Fractional COO and Strategic Operations Partner, I work with founders whose business is already working — but the delivery, team, decisions, systems, and leadership rhythm have not yet caught up with the level of growth they’re trying to hold. Fractional COO | Strategic Operations Partner | Upwork Expert-Vetted | Top Rated | $200K+ Earned | 90%+ Job Success Most of my clients come to me when growth has started to expose the cracks behind the scenes. The business is making money. The clients are there. The opportunity is real. But the founder is still too involved in every decision, every delivery issue, every team question, every client escalation, and every moving part. That is founder dependency. And it is usually not solved by hiring another assistant, adding another tool, or writing another SOP. It requires stronger business architecture. I help founders build the operational capacity required to scale. Together, we may work on: • Founder dependency and bottleneck removal • Business architecture and operating model design • Team roles, decision rights, and accountability • Delivery systems, SOPs, and client experience • KPI dashboards and visibility systems • Pricing, packaging, retention, and margin improvement • Leadership rhythm, operating cadence, and calm CEO decision-making • Strategic priorities and execution systems for the next stage of growth This is not surface-level strategy. It is the work of making the business easier to run, easier to lead, and less dependent on the founder carrying everything. CLIENT RESULTS INCLUDE: • 10–15+ hours/week freed from day-to-day operations • Stronger execution without constant founder involvement • Clearer team ownership and decision-making • Improved margins through simpler, more effective systems • Increased revenue through better pricing, positioning, delivery, and operational clarity • A business that feels structured, calm, and back under control RECENT CLIENT WORK: • Helped a scaling mental health practice remove operational bottlenecks, improve decision-making, and prepare the business for acquisition • Supported a construction business through operational restructuring, KPI visibility, and a 28.6% revenue increase within 4 months • Partnered with a data analytics agency to strengthen sales, leadership, and scalable delivery foundations • Helped a creative agency move from reactive delivery into a clearer operating structure • Supported SaaS, consulting, agency, wellness, construction, community, and expert-led businesses through growth-stage complexity HOW I WORK: Assess We identify what is actually breaking under scale: founder dependency, delivery drag, team confusion, unclear decision rights, weak visibility, pricing strain, or operational complexity. Architect We design the business architecture: roles, responsibilities, rhythms, systems, priorities, KPIs, and decision flows. Align We create the leadership and execution structure needed for the founder and team to operate with more clarity and less reactivity. Accelerate We implement what matters most so the business becomes calmer, stronger, and more scalable. WHO THIS IS FOR: This is a strong fit if: • You are a founder, CEO, consultant, agency owner, or expert-led business owner • Your business is around $500K–$5M+ revenue • Growth is happening, but it still depends too heavily on you • You want strategic ownership, not task-based support • You need someone who can see the full business model, not just isolated operations • You are ready to build the structure for your next stage of scale This is not a fit if: • You are looking for a VA, OBM, admin support, or task-based project manager • You only want someone to “write SOPs” without addressing the business model underneath • You are very early-stage and still validating your offer • You want low-cost execution rather than strategic partnership • You want coaching without operational change ABOUT ME: I bring 20 years of experience across finance, strategy, operations, consulting, and founder advisory. I have built my own 7-figure consulting business, worked with founders and CEOs across multiple industries, and generated around $300K through Upwork while being recognised as Expert-Vetted / Top 1%. My strength is seeing the full system: business model, delivery, operations, leadership, decision flow, team capacity, pricing, and growth strategy — then simplifying it so performance becomes sustainable. If your business is growing but still depends too heavily on you, let’s start with a focused strategy conversation.
