Mentor to 500+ ambitious and awesome Founders and Freelancers. Coached, advised and supported at all stages of funding and launch. Particular focus on the early stage strategy and tactics, fundraising, pricing, marketing, brand positioning and tone of voice. All and every industry from AI, blockchain, big data, and defense tech to non-profit, disaster response, food delivery and fashion. My focus is on technology development and deployment regardless of industry and cutting through the BS to deliver a product to market as fast as humanly possible. I teach entrepreneurs to focus on the really important parts, which sounds easy, but really isn't. I've brought startups back from the brink, arranged emergency funding that saves a company, spotted opportunities that transform startups and Founders and will do whatever I can to support the drive and passion of early stage ventures. The first stages of a startup are often the same. There are endless pitfalls to avoid, most of which I've hit hard in the past. It's wonderful to see the ideas come to life and to assist in steering such an amazing group of entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs from all ages and backgrounds. App development, branding, marketing, governance, board advisory, consulting, strategic advice, product development, testing, positioning, exit advisory, funding strategy and all alongside navigating the stress and strain on mental health that entrepreneurship brings. It's a wild ride and I love it.

Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship & Innovation to the EMBA program at MIT Sloan. I was first asked to lecture while still attending MIT, a first for the Institute, and teaching to my own peers was one of the more anxiety inducing moments of my career. Huge fun though.I've mentored groups of highly intelligence, ambitious and amazing business minds, most of whom have not experienced the rollercoaster of startup life and entrepreneurship. Getting highly capable C Suite executives to think like startup founders with limited resources was eye-opening for everyone. It sparked my speaking series "Thinking Like a Startup".

Startup incubator taking the ideas of ambitious Founders from idea to market in 30 days.This one was a huge amount of fun. Launched during lockdown to help Founders, Freelancers, entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs in DFW get their brains moving and their ideas to market. We launched Dallas Inc as a brand incredibly quickly (and I won an award for it) to prove we could. Our model is to strip everything away from what a Founder thinks they need to do, be ruthless in our focus and coach them through the incremental steps to market, extremely quickly.
