Call me to talk about

Working With a Professional Startup Coach

The one thing I've noticed time and time again is that it is increasingly lonely as a new or veteran founder. There's no one in your corner reassuring you of what you're doing right and helping you with what you're stuck on. I've been fortunate to be both coached, and a coach. If you're thinking about bringing in someone to help or just want to be more efficient with your time and mentor, I'd be happy to talk through your business, your goals, and how to get the most out of a coach.

Fundraising

What are investors looking for when they want to invest? What kind of funding makes sense for my stage of business? Am I at the right stage for a [Insert Series Here]? I've worked with hundreds of companies that are fundraising and know exactly what investors go to look for, the strategies to employ when conducting investor outreach, and what benchmarks you should be hitting during your fundraising.

Idea Validation

By working at Honda R&D, Fahrenheit 212, and Startups.com I've worked through the Idea Validation process firsthand for years. I've walked through, and have walked clients through, proving concepts while outlining the scope of the problem, the efficacy of the solution, the industry landscape, and customer personas in order to launch the idea successfully. It doesn't matter the idea, big or small, I'm here to make sure founders can make it a viable solution.

Business Development

Whether it's filling that sales pipeline or developing a new offering for your current consumers, I'm here to help founders figure out the right strategies they need to build their business they way they envision it.

Nice guy. Understands creative types.

Colin was very helpful indeed. He was very kind and understanding towards this "newbie" with fairly elementary questions. Enthusiasm is contagious and I ended the call feeling optimistic about my idea for the first time :)

Colin was friendly and engaging and helped me understand the topic I was asking him about (coaching startups).

James Rector Source: Clarity

Colin was sharp and organized, making the call extremely productive yet personable. He followed up with helpful resources + suggestions that helped move my project along. Thanks Colin!

Colin kindly offered me a free 30-min consultation for our initial call. I asked a few questions. I was very satisfied that Colin answered those he specialised in, i.e. market research, and gave suggestions and followup resources for other questions around pricing and building a team. At the end, he gave me the next step to do for my startup. It would be a perfect call if the sound quality was clearer.

Such a great call. Colin gave actionable insights on validating my concept. He laid out a strategy as well as the supporting tactics to help me get "unstuck." I am now crystal clear on what the next steps need to be, and WHY. A super helpful call and I'll definitely be looking to follow up with him once these milestones are cleared!
