Scaleup Advisor
Oh gosh. People like what youāre doing. But the skills and team needed to grow exponentially arenāt the same ones that got you here. Scaling customers, teams, marketing, sales, and tech that serves all ā and well ā is what I can help with.

Incremental CxO
You need powerful C-level help, now, but you donāt need a full-time CEO, CMO, COO, CTO. I help bring the heat you need, build the function, help find the people to take it over, and then I get out of the way.

Fundraising and M&A Expert
Oye! We need š°š°š°ā¦ or better saidā¦ we need time, we need scale, we need headcount, we need product, or we need an exit.
I can help assess what we need, really, and help evaluate the best strategies that include dilutive, non-dilutive, revenue sharing, factoring, loansā¦ or waitā¦ should we consider an acquisition? Then we move on to crafting the message, the pitch deck, the prospect listsā¦ and get to work.

Ally & Insurgent
Now hereās the thing. Youāre an a**hole if you donāt realize that everything you touch, say, and do either promotes equity ā or it doesnāt. Now Iām no prince or shining example, but ā Iām listening, learning, and showing up. Wanna learn with me what itās like to move from #allyship to becoming a social justice #insurgent? Letās chat.

THE POINT ISā¦ Iāve been where youāre sitting, you can trust that I know the stakes, the tradeoffs, because Iāve lived the founder journey more than once.
