Sherveen has helped clients get into these companies:
I've been an AI product leader and founder in tech for over a decade. As a startup investor, founder coach, and applied AI creator, I sit at the cutting edge of AI products -- obsessively trying new tools, getting early access to what's next, and deeply tied in with the research labs building the future. I help people build AI muscle with foundational models, agentic tools and AI agents, and both as end-users and builders in product development. If you want to become a top 0.5% AI power user, build an AI product the right way, or get your team AI-enabled ASAP, let's get started. Also, if you've been curious about Claude Code/Codex CLI (for code or non-code), image or video gen, MCP/A2A/RLHF, RAG/RL environments, fine-tuning, or automated workflows, we can get you going within session.

Why do I coach?
I've always wanted to break the information and process asymmetries that hold people back from their true ambition. Whether that's been about what people don't know when it comes to job search or careers, what they can't do when it comes to using AI tools, or what they get oversold on or don't understand about advanced usage of AI, I'm always looking to say... hey, let's demystify what's actually happening, but then build upon that to get top 1% (or better) mastery. I can get into the sob story about why this is so important to me, but I'll put it simply for now: my family immigrated to this country when I was a year old, and as I grew up, and as I watched my sister (9 years older than me) grow up, I could see the ways in which what we knew and what my family knew either held us back or helped us compared to those around me. And I think it's process and information asymmetries that hold us back from reaching our true potential and again, our true ambition.
