Services
I help you understand the investor mindset to build lasting relationships - and close deals successfully.
Raising investment isn’t just about your pitch deck — it’s about being able to effectively negotiate by understanding investor priorities, knowing what a good deal looks like, and speaking their language to work together effectively. I like to think of investing like a marriage (they’ll like be on your CAP table for about seven years, after all!) And like any successful relationship: communication is key. I give founders honest, actionable feedback that helps them understand crucial terms so they can negotiate effectively. Whether you’re prepping for a raise, struggling to convert warm intros, or simply want to understand what your funding options are — you’re in the right place. No jargon. No fluff. Just expert insight from someone who knows how investors think and how you can position your business effectively.
