My past experience includes -Building, buying and selling a few of my own companies -Helping turn around a fuel additive company with $40m in VC funding -Raising $5m in 2016 for a seed round for an NYC based real estate startup Where I'm fairly solid -Go to market. I've had a good bit of success with my own businesses using marketing to drive sales, revenue and metrics that were materially helpful. Around 10,000 people follow my newsletter for advice on biz/finance. -Finding signal: Meaning focusing on the numbers that matter within a business to grow/scale. I dislike complexity in finances that are complicated but not helpful. Who I am looking to meet I'm pretty open to connecting with people from almost any area of the ETA industry. Lawyers, accountants, searchers or business owners. I am newer to the space and try to be helpful with most people who I connect with How I can help I'm good with understanding most aspects of small business, from accounting, to contracts to SDE. I've been on the builder/sell side and also deeply aware of what it looks like to be a buyer. Generally, i'm pretty open to conversations Looking forward to connecting
