Bright Funds is a SaaS giving platform for companies. Worked with teams through the complete sales cycle, from the RFP response to custom work scoping to effectively launching each customer. Handled financing ($600K bridge note), banking ($750K venture debt line) and board and investor matters. Ensured compliance with privacy and charitable giving.

I joined OUYA (founded by two former IGNers) to manage a lot of the day-to-day, including finance and the San Mateo office, at a critical moment for the business. I designed a new post-hardware business model, brought on key hires, built better processes, and generally worked to reinvigorate the atmosphere. Unfortunately, an issue with existing debt.
