Build & Scale Your Startup | Guidance from a Seasoned Founder
I’m a venture-backed founder who has built, scaled, raised capital, navigated regulatory processes and led a company through both growth and structured wind-down. I’ve experienced the full startup lifecycle — from 0→1 product development and fundraising to managing complex stakeholder dynamics and making hard board-level decisions. As Founder & CEO of a healthcare startup, I worked with major hospital systems, built cross-border operations (US & Mexico), negotiated manufacturing and regulatory partnerships, and raised capital from top-tier investors. I’ve also navigated crisis moments — including investor due diligence challenges — which has given me a deeply practical understanding of governance, compliance, and founder accountability. Beyond building companies, I teach entrepreneurship and mentor early-stage founders across fundraising strategy, customer discovery, positioning, and leadership. I specialize in helping founders think clearly under pressure, structure their narrative for investors, and design companies that are both ambitious and operationally sound. If you're building something bold and want a coach who understands both ambition and responsibility — I’m here for that.
