Startup Coaches, Events, and Resources

I help ambitious professionals navigate the fast-paced world of startups — from identifying the right company to join, to launching one of their own. I bring a unique perspective from my experience as an investor at Dragoneer, where I’ve partnered with founders across every stage of growth, from early seed to pre-IPO. That experience has given me an insider’s understanding of what makes companies succeed and key challenges they face, as well as what great founders look for in early hires, and how to evaluate opportunities for impact, equity, and long-term growth. Before investing, I worked closely with operators and entrepreneurs during my time at BCG, helping them think through hiring, product strategy, and scaling challenges. I can help you find or build the right fit based on your skills, motivations, and risk appetite. Whether you’re an aspiring founder or someone who wants to join a high-growth startup, I’ll help you clarify your path, position yourself effectively, and take bold but strategic next steps.
