Lisa T.
Stanford Alum, Former Interviewer | College Essay Expert | 50+ Ivy+ Accepts
Hi, I’m Lisa! And I am a storyteller who provides independent strategy, solutions, and coaching for students, entrepreneurs, and startups so they can reach their goals. I believe deeply that authentic storytelling combined with thoughtful strategy and excellence in execution leads to amazing outcomes! I received my undergraduate degrees in Quantitative Economics and English from Stanford, my J.D. from Columbia Law School, and my MBA from the University of Southern California (USC). During a long career in finance on Wall Street, I became passionate about helping founders bridge the gaps needed to get their innovative ventures off the ground. I started mentoring and coaching startups with a number of organizations that including Techstars, CTIP and the Greif Center at USC. For seven years, I ran the coaching program at Women Founders Network, an accelerator that connects women building high-growth businesses with the tools and resources they need to achieve business success. Since 2013, WFN alumnae have raised over $100 million in funding. If I look familiar, it may be because I speak regularly on issues related to startups, tech and women in business and have appeared in publications including The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur.com, Inc.com, Fortune, CNBC, StartupNation, Women 2.0, and GenHERation. Whether you are a startup on the track for traditional venture-capital financing or a student crafting a compelling application for their dream school, I can collaborate with you to develop and implement a creative and practical strategy for success!
