What I Do

Advisory built for the
fundraising journey.

From first capital strategy conversation to closed round and beyond, the work centers on three things: clarity, relationships, and momentum.

Capital

Fundraising & Capital Strategy

Positioning, narrative, and round construction for founders raising pre-seed through growth capital.

Network

Strategic Partnerships

Introductions and structured partnerships that connect startups to investors, corporates, and ecosystem allies.

Portfolio

Investor & Portfolio Support

Deal sourcing, diligence support, and ongoing portfolio guidance for funds and angel networks.

Who I Work With

Builders on both sides of the table.

The practice spans two audiences that rarely get equal attention in the same room: the founders raising capital, and the investors deciding where it goes.

For Founders

Seed to growth-stage teams

AI, web3, fintech, and technology companies across Silicon Valley and emerging ecosystems worldwide, preparing for or actively running a raise.

For Investors

Funds, scouts & angel networks

Sourcing partners and LPs seeking access to founders and opportunities outside the traditional Silicon Valley pipeline.
