During my time at HBS, I launched a venture-backed tech startup, Privy Labs, where I am currently still Founder & CEO. As a longtime player in the NY startup ecosystem, I have mentored over 100 early-stage entrepreneurs on how to build revenue generating MVPs, raise VC, and navigate the Founder landscape.

About Maya

Hi there! I'm Maya, your friendly neighborhood MBA coach with a passion for entrepreneurship and helping others reach their goals. 🚀 With a background in finance, tech, and entrepreneurship, I've got quite knack for storytelling! As a recent grad from Harvard Business School (go class of 2023!) I am still super connected to the application process and the admissions journey! If you're looking for a coach who will be hands on, giving you insight into whether or not you should pursue an MBA, where to put your focus, & how to craft your application package, you've come to the right place! After founding 2 startups (1 venture backed), I realized the power of an MBA in shaping your future. Now, I'm here to share my insights, tricks of the trade, and a sprinkle of encouragement to guide you through the rollercoaster ride of MBA applications, especially if you're dreaming of carving your own path in the world of entrepreneurship. I love working with non-traditional candidates so if you've got a background that seems out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to reach out! Whether you're brainstorming ideas, drafting essays, or just need a pep talk, I've got your back! Let's turn your dreams into reality, one application at a time. 🌟 Ready to dive in and make your mark? Let's do this!

Why do I coach?

Knowledge is power! I've been teaching or coaching in some capacity since 2018 and firmly believe that sharing what we know is always the best way to help each other advance. At HBS, I co-chaired the Entrepreneurship club and organized the inaugural HBS Blockchain Conference. As a longtime player in the NY startup ecosystem, I have mentored over 100 early-stage entrepreneurs on how to build revenue generating MVPs, raise VC, and navigate the Founder landscape. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking for guidance on your MBA journey, let's connect and discuss how I can help you achieve your goals! I always find joy in helping someone learn or find something new within themselves.
