Venture Capital Coaches, Events, and Resources

Hi! I’m a former Goldman Sachs Healthcare Investment Banking Analyst and investor at 7wire Ventures, an early-stage healthcare VC firm. At 7wire, I supported sourcing and diligence, built operating and financial models, prepared investment memos, and worked closely with founders and portfolio companies, including serving as a board observer. I’m passionate about helping aspiring venture capital professionals understand what firms look for and how to position themselves effectively. I work with candidates on resumes, networking strategy, and interview preparation, whether they’re coming from banking, consulting, operating roles, or non-traditional backgrounds. If you’re looking to break into venture capital I'm happy to help you build a thoughtful, personalized plan!

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.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and extensive experience in the venture capital and startup ecosystem, I'm here to help you navigate your path to success. As a Co-founder & CEO of Torpedo Now and a former Investment Officer at NFX, I have firsthand experience in what it takes to secure funding and grow a successful business. My background at McKinsey & Company has equipped me with strategic insights that I leverage to guide entrepreneurs through the complexities of venture capital.

I’ve spent over a decade helping funds and founders raise capital by building the investor relations, operations, and storytelling engines behind successful fundraises. I’ve established IR functions from the ground up, designed LP engagement strategies, and managed pipelines supporting over $100M in capital raised across early-stage and growth funds. My background spans Bain Capital Ventures (supporting a $10B+ platform and portfolio community of 400+ founders) and Daily Harvest, where I partnered with leadership on board operations and investor communications during a $100M+ Series D. Today, through my firm No Signal Capital, I advise early-stage funds and founders on narrative, materials, and fundraising strategy so they can run capital formation with confidence and discipline.
