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 coach and venture capitalist. 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. You’ll work 1-on-1 with an experienced coach and venture capitalist 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.

Founder Advisor | Fundraising Strategy | Former GP @ Felicis Ventures
Founders face a constant stream of consequential decisions, often with incomplete information and few truly independent people to talk to. I work directly with technology founders on fundraising, board dynamics, mental resilience, and the critical strategic decisions that come with building an ambitious company. For the past 15 years, I've invested in technology companies across venture capital, growth equity, and private equity, including 10+ years at Felicis Ventures, where I was a General Partner. At Felicis, I invested more than $400 million into 40+ companies, served on 20+ boards, and helped founders navigate 100+ financings. Those companies have subsequently raised ~$5 billion of follow-on capital. I’ve worked closely with founders across stages and sectors through financings, board issues, leadership changes, periods of rapid growth, and periods when things didn’t go according to plan.
