Background

Where the experience comes from

Startup finance & ops, end to end

Nearly two decades of experience working inside and alongside early-stage companies — from running finance for a venture-backed cardiac device startup through fundraising and a major recap, to serving as outsourced/fractional CFO for dozens of consumer tech, blockchain/web3, marketplace, and SaaS companies.

Equity & debt fundraising

Directly involved in raising equity and debt for 50+ venture-backed startups — building the models, the data rooms, and the board and investor narratives that get rounds closed.

Post-raise infrastructure

Specializing in the critical window right after a raise: clean financial systems, KPI and budgeting discipline, and reporting that holds up to real due diligence.

Venture studio experience

Partnering with venture studios to stand up financial and operational foundations across a portfolio, from new-venture validation onward.

Tools & Systems
