Call me to talk about

Coaching/Mentoring on Professional Networking Best Practices

I speak, coach and mentor on professional networking best practices and can give you direct, specific insights for how you can cultivate, grow, and leverage your professional relationships. Most recent engagement: 2014 Harvard Social Enterprise Conference.

Market Identification & Expansion

I helped launch startup airline Surf Air in LA, raised millions for Gov. Romney's presidential campaigns, and have helped startups and young growing co's find and enter new markets and expand current ones. I can give you insights on new market entry and current market expansion strategies, and can also offer targeted, personal introductions to the relationships you need to get there.

Raising Capital & Capital Placement

I raised ten plus million dollars for Governor Romney's presidential campaigns, which gave me a strong national network of VC and angel investor relationships. I ran the largest private business plan competition in the country as an MBA student at BYU, which gave me a strong network of western US VC/investor relationships and an understanding of the needs of startups and how to build a winning business model instead of an obsolete business plan. I led business development efforts for the launch of startup airline Surf Air in Los Angeles, which helped me understand the fundraising process for startups. I can share strategies and insights on traditional (VC, angel) and non-traditional sources for raising capital, and advise startups on finding investors. I can provide targeted, personal introductions to key venture capital and angel relationships that can lead to funding. My network is strong in the western US (Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Los Angeles), Boston, DC, and Israel.
