Call me to talk about

Starting a Startup

I built a company from scratch and bootstrapped it to profitability within a year. As a non-technical founder, I taught myself to code, design and sell enough to build and validate and MVP. I help advise you on how to 1) identify your purpose and goals 2) lean on your strengths to achieve them 3) build the product and business you want 4) raise your first round of funding

Product and Brand Storytelling

I specialize in product and business storytelling and have been extremely successful in getting great press and public attention for my company through various storytelling techniques that I can teach you. I have a strong network of journalist friends and colleagues, a Masters degree from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and have spent 10+ years working in media for Jon Stewart, Michael Moore, network news and others.

What do you think about a platform similar to clarity for the travel vertical ?

I can say from experience that there is a huge need for this, as it's exactly what my company, Vayable does. We have a community of more than 5,000 local Insiders who can help advise, plan and curate experiences.

You can take a look at our Insiders here: https://www.vayable.com/users/search?query=&sort_by=popularity
You can search or browse by destination or interest and contact them directly, or use our in-house Concierge service for a higher touch experience. Concierge: https://www.vayable.com/custom/navigator

We are a YCombinator startup based in San Francisco, launched in 2011 and backed by many of the Valley's top investors. Feel free to reach out if you want to learn more about the space.

Jamie gave great, direct advice about startup PR. Potent Quotable: "PR is about user acquisition. People who want PR for PR's sake should go into performance art or something."
