Virtual Co-Founder + Startup Consultant

2015

With over a decade of experience as a founder & award-winning advisor, I help solo founders, small teams, and influential individuals to turn their ideas into reality, by supporting them as 'the co-founder they don't have to give equity to'. I work with these people one-to-one and invest real time into their ventures to help them grow from zero, to one and beyond. These relationships are carefully considered and highly limited but deeply impactful as a result.
