I specialize in
I’m a venture investor focused on early-stage innovation and company building. Previously, I founded Webatlas, a web intelligence platform, and spent nearly a decade at McKinsey and Deloitte advising Fortune 500s and private equity firms on growth and operations. I now work closely with founders, researchers, and operators across sectors, especially those navigating the early stages of building something ambitious. Topics I can help with: ✅ Fundraising strategy and what investors actually look for ✅ Finding product-market fit and building a go-to-market motion ✅ Translating technical innovation into a commercial story ✅ Startup ops: hiring, scaling, pricing, and growth levers ✅ Strategic thinking: prioritization, clarity, and decision-making under uncertainty ✅ Pitch feedback, deck review, and investor readiness If you’re building something early-stage and want a second opinion or just want to pressure test your thinking, happy to connect.
