About

I help deep tech founders turn breakthrough technology into commercial traction. I am available for advising, consulting, and GTM due diligence for startups, enterprises, and investors. As a Venture Partner at Forma Prime (deep tech) and Principal at GoingVC Partners (SaaS), I evaluate companies through a commercial due diligence lens — and work directly with founders to build the go-to-market infrastructure that gets them to their next raise. I've managed teams, built sales motions from scratch, and coached founders across customer discovery, positioning, pipeline, and investor relations. I also take on fractional VP of GTM engagements for founders who need senior commercial leadership without a full-time hire. I'm a sitting investor. I know what the bar looks like from the other side of the table. Startup Advisor at Alchemist Accelerator and Founder Institute. Co-founder, sFoundation accelerator. If you're building in quantum, semiconductors, or sensing submit your company here: If you're raising for DevOps/DevTools, marketplaces, enterprise software, tech-enabled services, and mobility submit your deck here: Fun fact: my career started on the ABC Studios lot in Hollywood, CA wri
