About
I've waded through the wild, wonderful world of startups—raising capital, mentoring, building products, hiring, and leading with a dash of humour and a whole lot of grit. From polishing pitches to refining go-to-market strategies, I've had the thrill (and occasional chaos) of being in the trenches with some of the best and brightest in the industry. Unicorns? Yep, been there. YC and Startmate? Absolutely. And let's not forget the countless other ventures I've been privileged to be a part of—each one a testament to the wild ride that is entrepreneurship.
But enough about advising. Now, I've flipped the script. I’m the founder of a marketplace that's a melting pot of exceptional mentors and company builders. Here, we’re scaling startups, steering a syndicate, and fueling the dreams of visionary founders. Oh, and did I mention I'm launching a book? It’s packed with battle-tested wisdom for anyone daring enough to build something remarkable.
Beyond startups, I’m tackling some of the toughest problems out there—housing affordability, smarter capital allocation for developers, and even a platform for musicians. This has led to not one, but two new ventures with some truly exceptional co-founders.
Ready for the next adventure? Let’s connect.
