Translating ambition into language investors trust.

After five years in startups and venture capital, I've decided to open a new area of consultancy for early-stage founders and emerging startup/innovation ecosystems. If you're interested in the reasoning behind that choice, you can read more here.

Explore this site to see how I now work with founders on fundraising, coach institutions about Venture Capital, and help individuals build a strong online presence.

I'm also leading the Startup Founders Club (SFC) where I regularly share information about the Startup and VC World and opportunities to connect with investors via the SFC weekly events newsletter.
