> Startup Growth & Go-To-Market Expert

I help early stage founders (especially first-time founders) solve their launch, growth & marketing problems. 

I’m one of the strongest evangelists of the “building in public” and “vibe coding” movements. My day job is Head of Community at Netlify, a $2b AI-first startup in Silicon Valley. 

Helped over 150 startups launch successfully (on platforms like Product Hunt) and attract 100s of paid customers. Also mentored ~500 founders globally through 10 cohorts of educational and community programs. Previously led high-profile positions as a director at startups like On Deck (funded by Founders Fund) and Day One (funded by Gary Vee). 

Built my audience from scratch to over 65,000+ followers on Twitter & 10,000 on my newsletter which opened up many doors for my career.  

Built a Top 10% podcast called Build In Public podcast by interviewing world-class entrepreneurs like Gary Vee & Alexis Ohanian and 82 others. 

Also a writer, angel investor, and growth advisor for startups from On Deck and Y Combinator.

Things I can advise on: 
- landing early customers 
- startup growth frameworks 
- building in public 
- building engaging communities 
- GTM strategy and PLG motion  

I love helping founders and can’t wait to connect!
