Startup Advisor for First Time Founders & Entrepreneurs

Created 8 years ago

I've done it myself.

Bonus points if you're starting a company in the food/delivery/beverage space.

Founded and grew a SF-based meal delivery service to $35,000+ in revenue and over 3.4K meals in deliveries through word-of-mouth alone.

Achieved ramen profitability in 8 months.

Never ran any paid ads, discounts, or referral programs through lifetime of company and despite competition from Munchery, DoorDash, Sprig, and so forth.

Most helpful giving advice for first-time or non-technical founders - not just on growth, but how to figure out/focus on the things that matter.
