With a background that includes significant experience in both venture capital and startup operations, I offer mentorship to founders looking for guidance in their journey. My expertise extends to key areas such as MVP development, go-to-market strategies, customer acquisition, and seed-stage fundraising. I work closely with startups to help them refine their strategies and navigate the challenging early stages of their business. One of the core aspects of my role is facilitating connections. I understand the importance of networking in the startup world, and I ensure that founders have opportunities to connect with mentors, industry experts, and potential collaborators who can help them succeed. Moreover, I provide access to critical resources and funding sources through "The Startup Network." I'm dedicated to ensuring that our community members have the support and access they need to turn their entrepreneurial visions into reality. With a background that includes operational roles at First Round Capital and Generate Capital in San Francisco and New York, I bring a wealth of experience and a robust network to our community. My goal is to foster an environment where startups can thrive and grow, and I'm committed to empowering our members on their entrepreneurial journeys.
