Venture Capital Coaches, Events, and Resources

Prior to attending HBS I spent two years as an Investment Associate at the largest dedicated foodtech / agtech venture capital fund where I managed 30+ investments and advised 16 portfolio companies. I landed this role over dozens of finance applicants having no prior finance work experience and having gone to a state school. I want to help clients break into venture capital investing regardless of their background. Let's work together to build your technical acumen and craft your story for why you are a singularly qualified candidate for the role.

Former founder turned venture investor and company helper. Happy to jam on anything related to fundraising, investing, recruiting, or transitioning into venture!

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.

I didn’t start in venture capital. I intentionally moved into startup CFO and operator roles to understand how companies are built and financed from the inside. That path eventually led me to launch and manage my own fund, where I’ve raised capital and invested across early and growth stages. Today, I manage an investment fund investing across public and private markets, and have sat on both sides of the table i.e., raising money as an operator and deploying it as an investor. I’ve co-invested alongside firms like a16z and Sequoia and reviewed thousands of opportunities across sectors. If you’re trying to break into VC or raise capital, I focus on positioning. Breaking in isn’t about sending more cold emails. Fundraising isn’t about having a deck. It’s about understanding how investors think and communicating your edge clearly. I don’t coach full-time. I do this alongside managing capital because I enjoy working with a small number of serious people and sharing what I’ve learned from actually being in the seat.

I broke into venture capital from management consulting, navigating a path that required strategic networking, deep market curiosity, and a sharp understanding of what VC firms are really looking for. I’ve worked across the venture spectrum—from early-stage U.S. and Korean startups to growth-stage tech companies—and received offers from both early and growth VC firms. As part of a founding team at a new Korea-based fund, I helped raise a $100M inaugural fund and worked closely with partners on sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support, gaining firsthand exposure to what makes a compelling investment—and a strong candidate. On top of that, I’ve also sat on the other side of the table. I led the hiring process for analysts and interns, giving me insight into what funds actually prioritize in candidates—from resumes and cold emails to interviews and investment memos. I coach aspiring VCs on how to position themselves, craft a differentiated investment thesis, and convert networking into interviews. Whether you’re breaking in from consulting, banking, or an operating background, I can help you understand how the U.S. and Asian markets differ, what skills funds value at each stage, and how to tell a story that resonates. I also advise on fit—VC isn’t the right path for everyone, and I can help you assess whether the role aligns with your personality, goals, and long-term ambitions. If you’re exploring the space or actively recruiting, I provide honest, tactical, and nuanced guidance every step of the way.
