I help people break into venture capital by combining real fund experience, deep exposure to early-stage investing, and hands-on operational context from building companies myself. I’ve worked inside VC funds, evaluated startups across multiple sectors, supported diligence processes, and built relationships throughout the ecosystem. On the operator side, I’ve founded and scaled my own startup, advised dozens of early-stage teams, and worked closely with founders on fundraising, financial analysis, storytelling, and go-to-market strategy. Because I’ve lived both sides of the table, I’m able to teach not just how to get into VC, but how to think like an investor—how to evaluate companies, form an investment thesis, communicate your judgment, and stand out in interviews. I help clients translate their background into a compelling VC narrative and build the skills, frameworks, and confidence needed to enter and thrive in the industry.
