Startup Coaches, Events, and Resources

I've built three startups, one of them have exited and none of them have failed. I've been a Venture Capitalist for 10+ years and and executive for 15+ years so I've seen both sides of the entrepreneurship experiece.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Nick, a passionate entrepreneur and co-founder of Relay Health, an addiction recovery tech startup that gained traction with support from Y Combinator and other investors. Since my time in the Y Combinator Summer 2022 batch, I've helped 5+ teams break into YC, all from non-traditional backgrounds. First at Relay and now at Leland, I've been the growth hacker, driving revenue from $0-$XK-$XXK-$XXXK, and I now leverage that experience to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs. Whether you're looking to break into YC, go from 0-1, or navigate the startup ecosystem, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality!

My passion lies in empowering others to bring their entrepreneurial visions to life. As the Co-Founder & Director of Marketing at Windfall Bio, a nature-based biotech company, I've navigated the exciting, and sometimes challenging, journey of building a company from the ground up. I lead our brand strategy, marketing campaigns, and storytelling, constantly working to articulate our value proposition and impact to customers, partners, and investors. This experience has given me firsthand insights into what it takes to launch and grow a successful business, from developing a compelling brand to securing funding and building a strong team. Beyond my work at Windfall, I've always been drawn to the world of entrepreneurship. While in college, I launched my own sustainable clothing brand, managing everything from design and production to global sales, all from my dorm room. And even before that, I ran a successful DJ and events business during high school. These experiences, while diverse, taught me invaluable lessons about resourcefulness, problem-solving, and the importance of connecting with your target audience. My academic background at Stanford University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Science, Technology, and Society in 2022, further solidified my understanding of the intersection between innovation, business, and social impact. I believe that entrepreneurship is a powerful force for positive change, and I'm excited to share my experiences and knowledge to help aspiring entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of starting and scaling a business. I'm passionate about fostering innovation and empowering others to turn their ideas into reality.

Hello and welcome to my profile! My professional career spans roles at competitive firms like Bain & Company (management consulting), Greycroft (VC/growth equity), and Snap Inc. (marketing & technical project management). I led resume reviews, interviews, and hiring decisions across all levels at each of these companies. On the college front, I was privileged to attend the University of Southern California (USC) on a merit scholarship. I majored in Economics and also graduated from their prestigious Thematic Option honors program. I've since supported several students through their own application processes, helping them craft compelling narratives, strategically position their applications, and prepare for interviews. While I have significant experience in various industries, I’m most passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, finance, and retail / consumer brands. Let's work together to make your career dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!

I’m a former VC and the CEO/founder of a venture-backed startup funded by Silicon Valley and Singapore-based investors. I’ve spent 20 years in finance, strategy, and investing where I've been evaluating hundreds of founders, reviewing pitch decks, shaping investment narratives, and leading diligence across early-stage and growth-stage companies. As a former Partner at Turret Capital and Director of Investment Strategy at Catcha Group (Southeast Asia’s leading venture builder), I’ve overseen a $1 billion portfolio and worked directly with founders on business models, GTM strategy, traction storytelling, and fundraising readiness. I’ve also raised capital for my own company, giving me firsthand insight into what investors actually look for in a pitch. My specialty is helping founders win high-stakes opportunities by crafting clear, compelling, investor-ready materials. I support early-stage teams with pitch deck creation and refinement, business plan development, investor narrative strategy, market sizing, competitive analysis, and overall fundraising preparation. Whether you're refining your pre-seed story or preparing for a Series A raise, I bring both investor and founder perspective to help you communicate your value with precision.

I started my career at Airbnb, worked in Venture Capital, and now run my own VC-backed startup. I've raised $4M+, built our company into 7 figures, and was awarded Forbes 30 under 30. I've done everything from building 0-1 bootstrapped, raising multiple rounds of funding, scaling and building a team, navigating through crisis and more.

With over two decades of experience in leadership development, strategic consulting, and in technology leadership in C-Suite, I specialize in guiding startups and entrepreneurs to achieve their full potential by bringing enterprise-level expertise and agile thinking to high-growth companies. I work with Series A+ technology-focused companies needing experienced leadership to professionalize their organizations early and establish the right foundation to scale effectively. As the Co-founder of Sullivan Global Consulting, I have worked with high-profile clients like The Honest Company and its founder, Jessica Alba and the CEO (holding over 350 technology patents) of Perceive (acquired by Amazon) providing executive coaching and leadership development tailored to the unique challenges of startup environments. My diverse background from working for large enterprises, such as Intel within Transformation Programs to a Digital Entertainment startup in Ireland as General Manager to serving as COO of technology startup, Reppify and at 22nd Century Solutions by Design impact investment fund, equips me with a unique perspective on innovation and sustainable growth. Whether you're navigating the complexities of scaling your business or seeking to enhance your leadership skills, I'm here to help you succeed. How I work: For Startups: Building the Foundation - Leadership Alignment - Right People - Building effective teams and leadership structures - Right Processes - Establishing scalable systems that grow with you - Right Technology - Implementing solutions that drive efficiency: we help prevent the inefficiencies that come from ad-hoc systems and reactive decision-making, ensuring sustainable growth as you scale.

I bring a finance-first perspective to startup coaching as both a founder and an advisor. I’m a Wharton MBA and Georgetown finance/accounting alum who has built and scaled my own company through eight accelerator acceptances, giving me deep insight into what programs look for, how to stand out, and how to access both funding and in-kind resources. I also mentor at an accelerator, where I work directly with founders on everything from pitch strategy to business model refinement. My coaching combines analytical rigor with clear, compelling storytelling. I help founders strengthen their pitch decks, sharpen their narrative, review and optimize business models, and develop the speaking presence needed to pitch with confidence. I also support early hiring strategy, helping founders think through when and how to recruit their first key employees. My approach is structured, practical, and designed to help founders move quickly with clarity, traction, and investor-ready thinking.

I’m Garrett Wolfe, co‑founder, CRO & President at Galaxy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/garrettawolfe), where I oversee everything from sales and partnerships to revenue operations and GTM engineering. At Galaxy I’ve built our GTM machine from the ground up, launching growth programs that combine predictive pipelines, AI‑powered outreach, and robust rev‑ops frameworks. Before that, I was employee number nine and the first growth/business hire at Unify. In that role I built the full growth function—automated outbound, inbound funnel, partnerships, sales enablement, and RevOps—from scratch. Within a year our team drove over $15 million in qualified pipeline. Prior to joining the startup world I cut my teeth in tech investment banking at Morgan Stanley and growth equity at TZP, developing the quantitative rigor and strategic discipline that inform my approach today. This combination of hands‑on startup execution—where pipeline and process met scale—and structured analytical training makes me uniquely positioned to coach professionals and teams in sales strategy and GTM motion. I’ve built outbound flies, booked hundreds of meetings, optimized GTM sequences, and set up scalable revenue engines—all while keeping everything predictable and repeatable. Whether you’re launching a GTM org within your startup, scaling pipelines, or sharpening closing effectiveness, I’ve built the playbooks and delivered the results—and love helping others replicate that success.
