GMAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

I've been building and investing in companies for the past decade. After graduating from Yale, I had a couple stints in consulting and global health before finding my way to startups. I started two companies, one a surplus food marketplace and the other in office management software. Neither was extraordinarily successful, but gave me a taste for helping companies go 0-1 and allowed me to meet some exceptional founders and builders. I started angel investing, realized I enjoyed investing/advising, and went to Wharton/Lauder with the intent of exploring venture capital (and to get better at Chinese). While in business school, I met Contrary and started working full time while still in my 2nd year. After graduating, I stayed on, became a partner 1.5 years in, and led deals in a number of great companies (Orchard Robotics, Nomic, Endeavor AI, etc.). I transitioned to a board partner/advisor role this past summer and have spent most of my time since helping build companies and continuing to angel invest. My angel portfolio includes companies like Ramp, Warp, Clara, Slingshot AI, and many others.

The GMAT is a fascinating test compared to others I have coached for (SAT, MCAT, USMLE, etc) if for no other reason than because of its unique scoring and administration system. The GMAT is also differentiate from other professional school exams in that test takers are working professionals applying to business school in parallel with full-time work (as opposed to students with more flexible schedules) and the exam tests topics that most examinees have not directly used in years (think: geometry, multivariable algebra, etc). Each of these features add a dimension to the learning curve which can either make the exam especially challenging OR can be leveraged to accelerate score improvement relative to other examinees. When I coach GMAT clients, we focus on the HOW more than the what. Specifically: how to prepare for the test (what to do each day of prep) and how to take the test (what to do when at the computer on exam day). Focused review of specific content can also be useful on a case by case basis for topics that are particularly problematic for the client and also highly represented on the exam.
