Package Description:

This package is built for early-stage founders who are wanting to accelerate their path to building a successful startup with help from an experienced founder. Whether you're pre-launch, post-MVP, or in the middle of raising a round, this coaching plan is designed to meet you where you are—and help you go further, faster. You’ll work 1-on-1 with an experienced founder or operator to refine your strategy, overcome blockers, and build a company with real momentum. Available in 5- or 10-hour formats, this flexible package gives you high-leverage support across your most critical areas—from fundraising and GTM to team building and founder mindset. Common coaching activities include: - Fundraising Strategy & Pitch Feedback: Craft your story, build your deck, and prep for investor conversations. - Go-to-Market Planning: Validate your ICP, test channels, and drive early traction. - Product & Roadmap Feedback: Prioritize what to build (and what not to), based on real customer feedback. - Growth Experiments & Funnels: Design scrappy experiments to drive activation, retention, and conversion. - Hiring & Team Building: Recruit and retain early team members who raise the bar. - Founder Mindset & Focus: Manage stress, avoid burnout, and stay focused on what matters most. - Investor Updates & Board Management: Learn how to communicate clearly, build trust, and stay in control of your narrative. - Pricing, Packaging, and GTM Strategy: Get feedback on your model and position it to win. Each session is personalized to your needs—whether you’re trying to close your first 10 customers, raise a $5M seed round, or navigate early team dynamics. You’ll walk away with clarity, momentum, and a real partner in your corner.

From McKinsey to Startups | Coaching Others to Make the Same Leap

Four years ago, I made the leap from McKinsey into the startup world, and I've been helping others do the same ever since. Today, I lead Strategy and Corporate Development at a tech company backed by Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Silver Lake, and others. I manage a team overseeing FP&A, M&A, go-to-market strategy, fundraising, and investor relations, and I've helped raise eight figures of private capital along the way. I was the company's first commercial hire and grew from Director to SVP in 2.5 years, so I know what it takes to stand out and scale quickly in high-growth environments. Through coaching, I've helped dozens of candidates land interviews and offers at exciting technology startups (especially in media and sports) via crafting narratives, translating their experience, and navigating the hiring process with confidence.
