About

I coach startup founders through the hardest parts of being an entrepreneur and building a company. The stuff less people talk about publicly and the media often gets wrong. Co-founder conflict, leadership burnout, the gap between scrappy do-everything founder and scalable leader. My clients include YC and Techstars founders, teams backed by Lightspeed, Precursor, AME, Index Ventures, Founders Fund, and Insight Partners, and profitable bootstrapped founders. I specialize in co-founder relationships and conflict resolution: repairing trust, untangling tension, and helping founding teams actually work together as executive leaders. I've coached 100+ founders from Angel through Series B+. I coach from experience. I founded Omni, a VC-backed storage and logistics company — raised $35MM+, scaled through Series B, exited to Coinbase in 2019. I was the first VP of Product at Clearstory (Series A), Head of Brand and Design at Kasa (Series C), and built the creative production agency and early art residency program inside Summit Series. My approach is what I call Mentorship Coaching — a blend of Socratic coaching and hands-on tactical advisory, adapted to what each client actually needs in
