What is your key differentiator as a startup mentor?
I am people-first, not technology-first, but I've spent my entire career collaborating with architects, founders, CTOs, and engineering teams. I have the empathy and perspective to help tech founders regularly zoom out and reframe their mindsets around their users.
What is your biggest startup win?
Transforming a services-oriented startup with $1M in annual revenue to a white-labelled, SaaS platform company with $10M in annual revenue.
