You’re building something real. I’ll help you prove it.

Operator | Investor | Advisor

I know how messy the earliest days can be, whether you’re building a company, underwriting a first check, or designing a platform meant to support founders before the data is clean. Positioning is still forming, conviction is still being built, and the story has to work before outcomes are obvious.

I’ve spent the past decade as an early-stage operator and investor working alongside founders, capital allocators, and ecosystem platforms to bridge the gap between early momentum and clear articulation. I help founders clarify their narrative, validate their market, and build repeatable traction. I help funders, accelerators, and incubators sharpen thesis, evaluate signal in noisy environments, and support founders in ways that actually move the business forward.

If you’re navigating ambiguity at the earliest stages, I can help you do it without wasting months guessing.

Who I Work With

  • Founders

    Building at the earliest stages who need clarity on positioning, traction, and investor readiness, before the story is obvious.

  • Capital Allocators

    Seeking sharper conviction, better early-stage signal, and trusted support evaluating founders, funds, and co-investment opportunities.

  • Accelerators & Incubators

    Designing programs, curricula, and capital pathways that actually help founders progress—not just participate.
