Founding @Startups.com, Clarity, Fundable and more
Founding @ Startups.com platform | Clarity.fm, Launchrock, Fundable, Zirtual, and Co-Host of The Startup Therapy Podcast 15 years as a Founder, Advisor, Mentor, Investor - the quintessential start-up guerrilla. I have the pleasure of working with 100's of the best start-ups every year on everything from ideation, early concept validation, launching, funding, and all areas of operations. I love getting my hands dirty - and lead teams of talented consultants, writers, analysts, and marketers who love a challenge. I've lived all over the World - and started businesses on 3 continents. I'm back in the US - for now.
As a Founding Partner at Fundable.com - I've been a pioneer in the crowdfunding space since it became a reality for use as a business funding mechanism - and developed the agency, a team of startup consultants dedicated to supporting client success in crowdfunding. With 1000s of campaigns under my management and consulting, I've had the benefit of developing best practices in a live-fire environment. I can be instrumental in helping you navigate the myriad decisions facing anyone considering crowdfunding as a funding option, as well as providing deep knowledge around success factors at the execution level. Nothing brings me more pleasure than watching a company succeed at crowdfunding, as it provides not only funding, but awareness, market validation, and highly visible, quantifiable traction.
If you have an idea that wants to grow up to be a business - let's talk about it. I have helped hundreds of companies go from idea to MVP to business. I'll provide definition and clarity - allowing you to move forward with certainty.
I've helped hundreds of companies dial in on a true MVP - allowing them to get in front of their market and validate ideas with the only population that matters - actual customers. We'll explore options that will get you in front of your audience and demonstrating the value your product of service attempts to deliver quickly and simply.
In my role leading the consulting practice at Startups.co - I worked with hundreds of startups every year, many of them very early stage and in need of validation around problem, solution or market. I can help you test your assumptions and validate your idea while you still have the luxury of pre-market flexibility. I love beating up a whiteboard with amazing brainstorms - and pulling out the insights you need.
I have 20 years and 8 startups worth of experience. More valuable than my knowledge is my ability to parachute in to a situation, quickly assess, and begin to synthesize. I'm not a prescriptive advisor - I'm a dynamic puzzle master.
