Work with Me

I advise early-stage startups

I started a consumer hardware company with novel technology and grew it from nothing to millions in revenue. Along the way I learned a lot, and I love sharing my experience to help other entrepreneurs on their own journeys. Some of the things I speak about include:

  • Finding a co-founder

  • Getting in to a startup accelerator program

  • Pre-selling a consumer product 

  • Designing, building, testing, and launching hardware

  • Fundraising

  • Hiring/Firing at early stage

  • Leveraging advisors

  • BOD selection and management

  • Emotional regulation for founders

  • Deciding whether to raise funds or bootstrap
