I help founders win.

Get your story right, build a plan for the raise and create real momentum with investors.

I’ve raised money for two of my own companies and spent the years in between working with more than 100 founders on their raises.

Pitch Decks & Storytelling

Most founders I meet have built something real but their deck doesn’t show it yet. I help you find the story and rebuild the deck around it. Then we practice the pitch until you’re ready for the hard questions.

For Foodnome I raised from a syndicate that included partners at Matrix, Bessemer and Lightspeed and early investors in Lyft and Spotify.

Community Rounds

I was Founder in Residence at Wefunder, so I’ve seen from the inside what makes a community round take off and what makes one stall. I’ve done it myself too. At Foodnome we raised $300K from our own network of home cooks.

I can help you figure out if a community round fits your company, then put together the campaign and the plan for launching it to your community.

Track Record

Raised over $3M in total for my own company. I ran investor relations for 50+ investors across five years.
Raised $300K in operating capital, then sourced a $10M debt term sheet to fund buying home health agencies. I brought in the lender and led diligence.

As Head of Investor Relations for this emerging CPG brand I told the story to investors and brought in strategic partners.
“The approach and preparation was edifying. The pitch practice was hugely helpful and confidence-building. I understand the industry so much more: the products, the competition, the value proposition, the VC ecosystem, the funding process.”
