If you’re building a startup, you have two choices: you can go it alone or you can get expert advice.I’m Diane, and I get first-time founders Shark Tank-ready so they know what they’re doing — instead of guessing and pivoting.Twenty-plus years ago, I founded Startup Distillery to provide 1:1 strategic startup consulting and business planning to entrepreneurs who are experts in what they do, but have never built a business before.Since graduating from the Wharton School and leaving the frenzy of Wall Street behind, I’ve partnered with ambitious first-time founders at the 0 -> 1 stage to help them fast-track profitability and get funded (if they want).Capitalizing on two decades of experience in finance, manufacturing, retail and operations, I specialize in business planning, financial projections, go-to-market strategies and pitches as well as diving into the nitty-gritty of your business operations.Some of my clients have become leaders in their industry, others have made multimillion-dollar exits, while still others have achieved their dream life of flexibility and financial freedom.My done-with-you services are a collaboration where we combine your vision and my expertise to make your dream a reality. As part of my process I take on several roles: on-call advisor, devil’s advocate and cheerleader… but my most important role is as your toughest critic (you’ll thank me later).My track record is no coincidence.Data shows it takes most startups 10 years to find real success — and 90% won’t make it that long. But when clients partner with me at the idea or launch stage, I help them cut that timeline in half.The people who choose to work with me are more likely to get funded, less likely to fail, and reach profitability faster.So before you dive into the shark tank, let’s talk.Learn about my services: https://startupdistillery.comBook a discovery call: https://startupdistillery.com/discoveryListen to my podcast: https://podcast.startupdistillery.comAnd let’s connect if you’re interested in learning how to build a world-class startup without spinning your wheels.
