Startups Coaches

The equation is simple: value = pain + education. Your clients or prospects have the pain: I help you educate them. I've helped entrepreneurs raise, sell, and close millions of dollars from the powerful stories we tell in the form of sales and pitch decks. I've honed this skill as I've been trained in a pitch deck design firm, to running a startup incubator, to working in VC, to now running my own brand and deck agency. I'm your go-to source for branding, storytelling, and presentation structure. In addition, I have extensive experience in data analytics, 0 to 1 startup innovation, customer research, market/competitive analysis, and strategy. I love the entrepreneurship game! Looking forward to learning about your story.
