Currently building a platform to help founders navigate VC fundraising activities into one tab. Passionate about growing longterm relationships across Early and Growth stage Companies, Investors, and Founders. Having had an early career in house helping scale a VC backed EdTech to it's 900 headcount moment, to then consulting between Investors and Founders as they scaled on venture rails. I was then fortunate enough to start making Micro-Angel investments which provided a third lens on operating within the venture industry. I enjoy working with companies and founders from pre-funding through scaling stages and beyond. Always happy to connect and chat about all things VC, VC Platform, Talent, Scaling, and Fundraising.If connecting with me here on LinkedIn please include a message to provide some context.
