I consider it entirely magical to help clients raise $140 M+ in 2023 through Business Plans, Grants, and Pitch decks. The same MAGIC was used to win contracts generating millions of dollars in daily revenue for some really complex industries in the Aviation and Oil and Gas sector. ✅Within 5 and 8 weeks, my clients were able to raise $18 M and $30 M, respectively, from top VCs. ✅Mohamed, the then aspiring CEO of TWINDI- "the board stood up while appointing me the latest CEO after a conclusion was reached that I presented the exact business plan needed to propel the company ahead." ✅Sharon said – "This is a very rare business plan writer I have seen. I am someone who needs a lot of business plans, and I can tell greatly the quality of a business plan. This seller is just on another level entirely. I wish I had met him before now." ✅Faith Brandy said- "I am starting another Non-profit firm, and I would like you to give me that same business plan that secured me huge grants and sponsorship for CAPTUREIT" ✅A Brokerage that helps businesses apply for tax exemption with the Labuan Business Management Board in Malaysia- "we are sticking to you because we have recorded over 95% success rate since we have been getting business plans for our clients from you. ✅Fran, a product photographer and videographer said- I got my VISA approved, so it’s all good. ⚠️I am not stressing about the outline of a business plan and pitch deck here- ANYONE COULD BROWSE AND WRITE UNDER EACH. I UNDERSTAND I can’t work for everybody. But it should be an issue of concern when Investors, Banks, and other investment companies are aware that over 70% of businesses fail, and a survey reports that less than 25% of business plans/pitch decks tendered to investors and banks eventually secure funding. Then, the quality and effectiveness of your Business Plan/ Pitch Deck should be a BIG DEAL. Starting is extremely DIFFICULT! There is always NOT ENOUGH money! Investors’ feet are FIRM on the ground! What WORKS FOR "company A" DOES NOT WORK FOR "company B" most times. My clients are going on a high target, and I am helping them smash it. Consider me a great fit if: - There’s an opportunity for $$$ on the line to be grabbed - All resources are available, I just need a clear roadmap - You had a bad experience with getting effective and quality plans and decks - A peculiarity in your business - You want to work with a Business-savvy person. - You have contracts to win/ deals to seal on the spot. - You want to win the CEO or VP seat. How WORKING WITH ME looks: You will know what to expect at the end from the start; you will maximize your time and know exactly how much it will cost you from start to finish. ★You will get a TOP-LEVEL business plan and deck that raises X 3 of your ask. ★You will learn how to present your company/ idea/ product to potential investors and audiences. ★You need to set your notification for my messages because I love great communication. ★We will have meetings during and after the project to ensure you understand the figures, assumptions, and terms in the business plan/ pitch deck (to help you stand tall in the face of investors, banks, and board members). ★I will help you SAVE A LOT OF MONEY MY GOLDEN RULE: Personally, I like to have a feel of the quality of service/ product I will be paying for. So, I expect my potential clients to be convinced of what they would be paying for as well. If you would need to see a business plan sample from me, I will only send you a sample from an unrelated industry.

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.
