Director of Business Development and Strategic Alliances

Mistakes, I've had a few...

❌Like running out of cash flow before making a profit

❌Like pouring my entire college career into a business that sank without a trace

❌Like draining my bank account, my friendships, and my will to keep going

❌Like watching a close friend make millions while I hit the big red FAIL button again

❌⌃⌃⌃Like not paying attention to the CLUES… 

❌Like scaling a service company to 7 figures in 4 months and realizing I'd built a prison for myself 

❌Like losing control of my own business

❌Like the time I crashed … and burned

❌ Like the time I built an ad agency from scratch and tapped out at 7 figures 

❌ Like the time I wasted years managing people instead of profits

❌Like the time my good friend invited me to create her well-oiled sales machine… 

And I failed so hard I still have whiplash all these years later.

There’s a word for this kind of “mistake”: 

Growth. 

Or more to the point: 

Sloppy growth. 

Sloppy growth is growth that doesn’t grow your impact.

Sloppy growth is sales that don’t scale your time, team or cash-flow.

Sloppy growth is losing control of your own purpose, time and freedom.

You get the idea. 

But life’s too short to put up with sloppy.

I wanted more. 

(MUCH more)

So I disappeared for a while.

Shut myself away.

Spent TWO years and a fistfull of days figuring out a growth system that actually works.

Here’s what I built:

A leverage-based growth model.

One that predictably closes more sales, bigger contracts, and more cash flow.

One minute in, ten minutes out. 

One dollar in, ten dollars out. 

One hire in, ten times the output – not ten times the stress.

One prod—well, you get the picture. 

I started Focused Founder.

Then I invited a small group of tech founders to oil the cogs of their own growth machine with hands-on coaching, scalable systems, and plug-and-play frameworks. 

Our small group of founders have already generated an extra $100+ million dollars:

✅Aviron Active went from ZERO sales to hundreds of thousands a month

✅Mailmonitor went from barely scraping by at $8K/month to $100K

✅That’s 11X cash-flow in just 30 days

✅iQi Air made $598K in the first month…

✅AND they landed a fat $30.5 million commitment

✅Blubanyan went from low 7 figures to solid 8 figures…

✅Massive cash reserves…

✅Another year of 100% growth…

✅And DELETED stress from their team…

✅Jan, the CEO, said getting this 10X growth felt "calm"

✅There’s plenty more where that came from.

Sloppy growth is a miserable grind that burns you out.

Leveraged growth lets you win.

Scaling from $1M to $10M isn't luck.

It's a proven framework.

Most founders hit $1M and think they can keep doing what got them there.

That's the biggest mistake.

The playbook changes completely at scale.

VC firms come to me for advice on how structure their founder acceleration playbooks.

This is the exact guide I'll give them to help their portfolio companies break through the $1M ceiling and scale to $10M+.

Inside this framework:

→ Which pricing model actually scales (and why most founders choose wrong)
→ The exact math: leads, calls, and demos needed to hit $10M
→ How to restructure your sales motion for enterprise-level deals

This framework has helped 6+ B2B tech companies successfully scale add $10M+.

The difference between stalling at $1-2M and hitting $10M+ comes down to knowing which levers to pull and when.

If you're a founder currently between $1M-5M and serious about reaching $10M, this guide will save you years of trial and error.

Simplicity is not the absence of complexity - it is the presence of clarity.

Gate To Ukraine

Gate To Ukraine was founded for the purpose of allowing anyone to Help Ukrainian Families Directly. Millions of families have had their life destroyed by the war and many are displaced, unemployed, and beyond the reach of humanitarian resources. Sponsoring a family is often the difference between them starving or eating, between them being able to move away from areas of active conflict or be forced stay behind and risk their lives. It’s difficult to comprehend the pain these families are going through every day and impossible to watch their stories without getting emotional. Despite their tragic circumstances, their incredible perseverance, resolve, and endless passion for Ukrainian freedom and independence is what keeps us working hard to help as many families as we can.
