Don't be the best, be the ONLY.We help startups become the GOAT To Market by giving them the pitch that finally breaks through. We primarily work with 1) Founders of startups raising capital from pre-seed through Series A, and 2) CEO / CRO / CMO leadership and their sales teams at Series A+ startups.1)Founders raising capital are saying, "We SUCK at telling our story!"They've got this vision in their head, but when they pitch they're getting scratched heads, confused looks, and a "Huh? What does it do again?" or worse, a "Oh I get it, another [insert generic app here]."When the stakes are this high, you can't be another anyone. You've got to own being the ONLY you.Startup Hypeman helps dial in your pitch to go from confused looks to cashed checks. Our Pitch Artistry process has garnered everything from winning $25k in a competition, to $25 million in a Series A.Just ask startups like Eventnoire, StoryFit, Sigo Seguros, Science On Call, Cyber Pop-Up, and others how they've been Hyped.Head to startuphypeman.com to learn more and access our free Que PASA Elevator Pitch™ training video.2) Once a company exits founder-led sales and the sales team ramps up, there's an acceleration window to lead the category or create an entirely new category and hit the next valuation. Poorly run sales calls with 'guided tour' demos and no storytelling only leave them getting feature-shopped against competition where the winner is whoever can discount the most. We help leadership translate their vision into a scalable customer narrative that everyone on the team can deliver.We craft the pitch and sales motion that turns buyer decisions from feature and discount-focused, to aligning on point-of-view and recognizing your company's market expertise. Our Story Stack process has generated results like reps closing 200% of quota, increasing ACV, and even helping a company get acquired.

floChicago is a 501(c)3 nonprofit leadership development program founded by a group of educators, principals, professionals, and civic leaders in partnership with the University of Chicago and the Chicago Community Trust. We are all bound by the common vision to help high school students reach their full potential. We believe that discrete moments – such as an introduction to a mentor, exposure to a new career path, or discussion about a social issue – can inspire students to broaden their horizons and realize their full potential. We aim to provide experiential learning and programming concentrated with potential moments for students to learn, grow, and redefine their trajectories.Each year, floChicago identifies and brings together a diverse group of aspiring and proven high school leaders, and provides them with opportunities to 1) meet with business, non-profit, and government leaders, 2) engage with diverse student leaders from the Chicago area, and 3) gain exposure to a wide variety of challenges and opportunities in Chicago. Students participate in workshops, field trips, and group discussion around topics such as crime and violence, public health, education, and race relations. floChicago provides students with a heightened sense of awareness around issues facing Chicago, leadership challenges in fixing the problems, and various career pathways to address them.As Program Facilitator, I help manage and lead programming and student interactions during Flo Immersion Week.

When I left HelloWorld after 3.5 awesome years, several coworkers told me "the face of the company" was leaving. I was flattered by that anointment, and looking back, I believe they annointed me as such because I tried my best to give everyone a voice. Whether that was on the phone prospecting new clients, during new business pitches, at the office with my coworkers, or trying to come to a common middle ground with software engineers working on a tight timeline, what I prioritized above everything else was the people I had the honor of working alongside every day.
