I collaborated with HBS and MIT business students and software engineers to help venture-backed startups. Typically, I was the only lawyer in the room. Business Development and Marketing (Hellotoken)• Publishers were excited about asking their users questions (instead of placing ads) and then selling the answers to those questions on a marketplace. We rapidly scaled adoption to dozens of major sites. Getting people to pay for the ability to ask a question was another question. • So followed many emails, cold calls, and entries to our sales funnel spreadsheet on Streak. Discovered that we had to (1) focus narrowly on what our target data buyer struggled with and (2) add value immediately in our reach outs and content. • These efforts led to the startup's first subscription sales. Product Management (CY Creations) • Working with this boutique app agency on its most popular app (AutoTextExpander), I prioritized key features to accelerate productivity of our time-poor and cost-sensitive users. I analyzed hundreds of user comments, categorized them, and, in a data-driven way, prioritized key features. • Here, I discovered the necessity of working closely with the technical team to ensure that features were prioritized not just by the intensity of pain, but also by technical ease. Pick the low-hanging fruit. And make some delicious fruit pies, even if they're small ones.• As a result of this balance, I prototyped in Sketch and tested on our target market a number of UX designs that would address common user concerns and questions about how to use the product.

One of my favorite experiences at Harvard. My students gave me top scores every year at one of the Harvard's residential communities: Currier House (whose fearsome mascot is a beautiful tree). My key lessons were: • To be consistently present - I attended dinners nearly everyday to connect in a casual setting and personally reached out to those who I hadn't seen. Through these efforts, I could build trust and understand how to be more helpful.• To use data to prioritize - I used a survey to discover what was most important to my residents. This data guided me to prototype and host well-attended social events and discussions related to careers, diversity issues, and entrepreneurship. With this prioritization, I never went over-budget. • To have fun - One of my favorite things to establish group norms at the beginning of the year was to give every resident a gift bag of items that not only included untraditional candy but also funny kawaii stickers. While maintaining professional distance, in my dinners, I didn't hesitate to poke fun.
