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.

In 2001, I read advice from renowned billionaire and philanthropist John Huntsman, Sr. which shaped my life. Looking back on his career, Huntsman's advice was to "get the best education you can get, work for the best companies you can and learn 'on their dime', and then break off and start your own company." I have followed that advice ever since. After achieving my goals and working for best-of-class Fortune 50 companies, I launched my entrepreneurial career. I founded a successful digital marketing agency, a strategic consultancy, cofounded a Silicon Valley startup accelerator, coached founders at UC Berkeley's Startup program, and founded a company to do business with government agencies. Many people dream of running their own company, and yet relatively few succeed. If you are seeking to pursue your entrepreneurial career, I can assist you to avoid pitfalls, navigate challenges, and achieve your dream.

I studied public health at Imperial College London, health policy and management at Harvard, medical devices design at MIT, business at Concordia and surgery at McGill. With over 40 published papers, working in international organizations, raising over $500K and assisting other startups, I believe I am well poised to help you launch your own business and generate leads. I have been part over 4 major incubators and accelerators and can help others launch their dream business.

I’ve spent the last seven years building Perkies, a consumer brand born from my college dorm room and grown into a multi-channel business with national retail partnerships at Nordstrom, Target.com, REVOLVE, and GoPuff. Through this journey, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to bring a product from concept to market, build brand awareness on a scrappy budget, and navigate the challenges of retail expansion, manufacturing, and fundraising. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and consulting for other founders across various industries, helping them validate product-market fit, sharpen their brand positioning, and build the right connections to scale in both DTC and retail channels. Whether you’re figuring out your launch strategy, looking to expand into retail, or navigating early-stage product development, I’m here to share real-world experience and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
